Full Description
This book examines a variety of issues related to wellbeing education and cross-cultural education, curriculum and pedagogy, education policy and systems, teacher education and professional development of educators, educational administration, management and leadership, and inclusive education. Stimulated, in part, by the launch of positive psychology, wellbeing education has grown worldwide. Various theories of wellbeing have been adopted in education, coining the term 'wellbeing education', defined in this book as how school leaders and teachers plan to implement evidence-informed wellbeing interventions to promote wellbeing and academic goals. This book investigates a series of questions related to wellbeing education, and how evidence-informed wellbeing approaches are integrated into learning, teaching, and education.
