APD1230H
In this course, we will explore well-being in the context of education and educational settings. We will start by learning about the definition of well-being and the different ways it is fostered and defined. We will discuss how well-being is connected to various aspects of children and youth’s experiences and what role educators play in fostering well-being. We will consider some of the most important factors and constructs that influence well-being among children and youth (technology, happiness, and resilience) and discuss how educators contribute to promoting well-being through these factors. Throughout the course, we will take a multi-system perspective, focusing on the roles of families, educators, classrooms and schools in promoting children and youth’s well-being.
