Registration Has Opened for Shannon Suldo’s Workshop on Providing Positive Psychology Practices to Improve Students’ Happiness on Nov. 6

Participants will learn specific strategies at the Tier 1 level for promoting all children’s happiness through school wide and class wide strategies that target improvements in the factors correlated with children’s subjective well-being, including positive teacher-student relationships evident in schools with a healthy climate, as well as students’ personal levels of gratitude, optimism and use of character strengths. Programs for promoting the well-being of students with low happiness will be referenced. Participants will also become familiar with tools to assess positive psychology constructs, including how to incorporate such measures in universal screenings and progress monitoring.

Shannon Suldo, Ph.D., is a professor in the School Psychology Program at the University of South Florida. She is a Licensed Psychologist in the state of Florida and continues to provide school-based mental health services to youth in the Tampa area. Dr. Suldo has extensive research and clinical experiences in school-based mental health services.
