Riassunto

Loaded with activities, resources and real-life examples, SMART Strengths is the new gold standard in the field of positive education. The SMART model demonstrates how to change a school system, one person at a time, so that it's not just about bringing positive education to students; it's also about maximizing the strengths of the adults who interact with them in every environment that fosters character and achievement.

Dal risvolto di copertina interno

SMART Strengths is a wonderful addition to the growing pantheon of works documenting the wisdom of the strengths-based approach in schools and the positive psychology upon which it is based. With both apt and often moving school-based illustrations and also tools to learn how to spot and build a student's strengths, the authors reveal that through healthy relationships with the key adults in their lives, students fl ourish with growth mindsets as opposed to stumbling because of preoccupation with defi ciencies. A must read for all the important players (parents, teachers, coaches) in a student's life.--PATRICK F. BASSETT, President, National Association of Independent Schools I am excited about the possibilities SMART Strengths off ers to the training of parents and educators. It represents a pathway to understanding dimensions of growth we have neglected for a long time. Strengths-based development is not merely a technical issue, but is at the very heart of the challenge of human development. SMART Strengths is practical in the best sense of that word. I plan on placing it directly into the hands of teachers, future and current school leaders, and above all, parents. I highly recommend this text to anyone interested in personal development, and especially for those who are charged with fostering and facilitating growth in others.--TOM WARD, Director, Principal Leadership Academy of Nashville, Vanderbilt University Peabody College of Education
