Hi everybody. I hope all is well and everybody is safe!!! Bob

I love the Lucifer effect! thanks Zimbardo!

Wow! The authors of this new article contain some of the superstars in PP! Looking forward to read this.

Agree, @Jun/Tokyo.

I love that analogy!- Teaching students to SEARCH for their mental health!

This is a beautiful framework!! Brilliant and useful/1

Please type questions for Lea in this chat room

How does PERMA contribute to growth? Especially in the midst of a Pandemic?

Why is it that Australia seems to be so far ahead of other countries with Positive Psychology in Education? I also just took Mental Health First Aid and that started in Australia! Thanks so much.

What is the application of this research in institutional/college settings? Thank you!

Q for Lea: How has been your experience (if any) in implementing Positive Educ in developing countries? Are there common and unique challenges?

I might have missed it… was the teacher study collecting data on teachers using SEARCH approaches in their teaching or using the framework for themselves personally?

Superb presentation!!

Loved it! Thank you Lea! :)

Terrific approach and research. I am thrilled to learn more about positive education and your outstanding work.

Wonderful presentation. Enjoyed learning about the newest research and your SEARCH framework. Thank you so much for your time and passion!

You mentioned you are distinguishing between post traumatic growth and adversarial growth. With the next to last slide, you mentioned both. Were you measuring both for that study?

Such inspiring work! Thank you for sharing, Lea!

Love your talk! I'm wondering where does meaning and intrinsic value fit in the SEARCH framework?

Australia is famous for their swimming lessons and teachers!

One thing that I’ve heard often in discussions of positive psych interventions in schools is the issue of implementation—it can be hard enough for teachers to get through their academic curriculum, so they may find it especially difficult to find time to do a thorough lesson on well-being skills. Have you come across this? Any thoughts on how to address it?

Have you had the chance to look at how SEARCH relates to the adversity of such trauma as structural racism?

Incredible! Thank you!

Will you be developing or offering an online professional certificate for education consultants on Positive Education to use and support going to scale?

There is so much need for this work in schools, universities, and also in business and government organizations. (positive psychology and positive education). Thanks to Prof. Waters, WPPA, Dr. Stewart Donaldson, Claremont Graduate School, etc.

Your presentation reiterates the passion that I have for the subject of Positive Psychology, thank you.

Nice resource" Positive Psychology on the College Campus edited by Wade, Marks and Hetzel.

I have a lot of interest in its application to higher education.

Thanks for the resources.

Has there been any research and insight gained on how positive education can benefit students' growth and mental health within special education settings?

Yes, thank you!

I toured 3 schools during the IPPA conference in Melbourne and they integrated it throughout the day in all the subjects. It was amazing and totally changed the tenor of the schools. Kids were supportive toward each other etc.

Wow!

I would love to present this framework to my middle school campus!

I think it is important to engage in policy work as well- supporting or when necessary, writing policies for K-12 and higher education, and working with legislators, or related depending on country, to ideally access to more funding for this work.

Pardon the run-on sentence. :)

Definitely seems like it would be easier when you have support at the level of federal government!

I am applying for a 2nd PhD currently which would include some aspects of policy work, etc.

Go Meg!!!
