S1 Ep49: Practical Examples of Character and Positive Education - Book Launch Panel 2 Part 1

Aug 3, 2020

Welcome to Episode 49.

This is the third of the extended podcast episodes over the next few weeks, where you will be able to listen to the replays of the For Flourishing’s Sake book launch events.

Today, I bring you the first half of the second panel discussion of the book launch extravaganza.  This panel was recorded live on 18th June, the day the Kindle edition of For Flourishing’s Sake was published.

I chaired the panel myself and the panellists were:

Flora Barton, Headteacher, Crowmarsh Gifford Church of England Primary School

Kelly Hannaghan, Mental Health and Wellbeing Consultant

Patrick Ottley-O’Connor, Education Consultant, Leadership Coach and Headteacher.  Executive Principal at North Liverpool Academy.

Rebecca Tigue, Head of School, University of Birmingham School

In this first half of the panel discussion, the panellists shared their definitions of positive education, character education or wellbeing in education, exploring also the different terminology used to describe many of our and their shared goals. They quickly moved on to some concrete examples of implementation in their schools, from specific staff wellbeing initiatives and their impacts, to whole school approaches and their effects on the entire school community, including parents.

You can watch back all the panel video recordings here. The final panel discussion will take place on 21st August - the day of the For Flourishing’s Sake paperback publication - at 12.30pm BST.
