The world's most forward-looking schools increasingly create positive cultures to enhance education. A positive, engaged brain improves performance, pride, and culture, helps retain our best teachers, and deepens student, family, and community relationships.
More than a decade of research has shown that our formula for success is backward; happiness leads to success, not the other way around. The Happiness Advantage, by positive psychology researcher Shawn Achor, outlines the research case based upon hundreds of studies worldwide showing that happiness is one of the greatest competitive advantages you can give a brain. It raises creativity, test scores, and productive energy and buffers against stress, anxiety, and depression.
“If you want to have a great school, you have to have a great culture. And happiness is the best place to start. Orange Frog made a big splash in our district and led to some great changes and improvements for staff and students.”
"Since Shawn's keynote at AASA's National Conference on Education in 2016, The Happiness Advantage │Orange Frog Workshop™ has become the largest and most successful positive psychology training program for educators worldwide. Its research now extends to over 50 countries. This global success is a testament to the transformative power of our program, and we invite you to be a part of this impactful movement."
Today, thousands of teachers and staff nationwide and entire school districts are working to create happy, healthy, and engaged schools. They also focus on improving performance and fueling success in the classroom by utilizing the same evidence-based principles from The Happiness Advantage I Orange Frog Workshop for grade-appropriate learning.
