Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
National surveys consistently reveal that an inordinate number of students report high levels of boredom, anger, and stress in school, which often leads to their disengagement from critical learning and social development. If the ultimate goal of schools is to educate young people to become responsible and critically thinking citizens who can succeed in life, understanding factors that stimulate them to become active agents in their own leaning is critical. A new field labeled 'positive psychology' is one lens that can be used to investigate factors that facilitate a students sense of agency and active school engagement.The purposes of this groundbreaking Handbook are to 1) describe ways that positive emotions, traits, and institutions promote school achievement and healthy social/emotional development 2) describe how specific positivepsychological constructs relate to students and schools and support the delivery of schoolbased services and 3) describe the application of positive psychology to educational policy making. By doing so, the book provides a longneeded centerpiece around which the field can continue to grow in an organized and interdisciplinary manner.Key features include:Comprehensive this book is the first to provide a comprehensive review of what is known about positive psychological constructs and the school experiences of children and youth.
