Join Cathleen as she guides you through this self-paced book study providing professional development based on research around the psychological science of hope. This guidebook provides strategies educators and school leaders can use daily to help students feel secure, build relationships, and improve academic outcomes. Included are actions and interventions that can be woven into classrooms and schools to foster mental wellness and happiness, such as
- Classroom materials, tools, reproducibles, and videos
- Scientific resources to quickly assess and monitor hope
- Simple plans of action to improve hope, engagement, and motivation
- Vignettes from classrooms and the author’s own experiences with children who have experienced extreme trauma
Backed by the latest research, The School of Hope will encourage higher academic attainment and equity, inspiring a sense of deeper fulfillment for both students and educators.
Each session will focus on specific chapters from the book and the tools discussed in each. Complete the questionnaire at the end of each section to receive a Certificate of Completion.
