Teaching well-being skills alongside academic skills help students build resilience, cultivate their strengths and find the joy in learning.

Positive Education

Positive Education brings together two main goals of education: academic learning and well-being. Schools that focus on this two-prong approach to education will see happier, more engaged students & staff.

Testimonials

Sha-En takes a personal interest in meeting the needs of the audience – key personnel, staff and students – and takes the extra effort to customise the training/talk. She takes pride in her work and the level of commitment is admirable as she constantly checks in with the school staff developer to ensure that the training/workshop meets the objectives. Though she is an experienced trainer, she looks for feedback to improve her craft and we are touched by her passion and humility. We will be engaging her to speak with parents more regularly when our PSG is more established under the new Exco team. She-En is not just a trainer but a treasured partner of the school.

Jane Chong Lai Peng, Vice-Principal, CCHY

Sha-en brings with her rich experience from her background and training, and is able to guide our KPs in practical ways towards Positive Education.

Sha En’s workshops are well -planned with suitably chosen activities and examples that keep staff meaningfully engaged. She makes the effort to make it relevant for staff and is specific in her examples, assuring teachers that this can be done. She is also very approachable and kind and very reassuring, ready to answer our queries and uncertainties. A few of my staff have come up to me and told me that they always look forward to PosEd trainings. 🙂

Sha-En takes the effort to know the needs of the school. She gives her sound inputs and practical tips to make the effort works. One thing for sure is that there is never a dull moment in her workshop. She is able to pace the session to cater to participants’ needs.

Abdul Mutalib Mohammed Amin, VP, Yumin Primary

The talk by Sha-En is very engaging and she uses interesting examples to elaborate her points effectively. The strategies and tips she shared are very insightful and useful and she has helped both parents and educators who attended the talk understand how they can increase their well-being and be role models for the children through simple activities in their daily lives. Besides learning how to enhance personal well-being, the participants have also learnt how to promote positive interactions between themselves and their children. Kudos to Sha-En for the wonderful session!

It was inspiring. I would like to go back to my class and to be more deliberate in identifying my students’ strengths and helping them to realize what their strengths are.

Secondary School Teachers on the Building an Inclusive Class Culture with Character Strengths workshop

Everyone in the workshop felt great! The benefits extend beyond the workshop into our daily life when we do the exercises regularly. Attending this workshop is a positive step everyone should take to make our life’s journey more wonderful.

Aden Gan, Curriculum Director, Pro-Teach Education Group

Cultivating a Positive Workplace Culture” was an enriching workshop about mindfulness and character’s strengths. Training focus, activities and strategies introduced were made relevant to our educators’ work situations. I believe that our staff were able to connect and had developed greater intra- and interpersonal skills that would help them better manage themselves as well as work with others.

Kelly Hor, Head of School, Odyssey Pre-school
