The return of The Joy Division!
A growing band of wellbeing professionals who chat about all things 'wellbeing' - and share their conversations!
In this video, we explore the concept of deliberate joy as a hidden superpower for wellbeing in educational settings.
We discuss how joy is intrinsically linked to positive emotions and learning, and how creating joyful environments can significantly improve attendance and engagement, especially in schools facing attendance crises.
We encourage you to actively seek out and create moments of joy, both for yourself and your students, as these experiences foster psychological safety and enhance learning.

Together, we ask:
"What if joy wasn’t just an emotion - but a tool? A well-being superpower!"

Some key takeaways include:
✅ Stress is contagious, but so is joy!
When teachers are joyful, students’ stress levels drop and learning outcomes rise
✅ How we show up matters
Are we looking for the good in students - or the missing uniform?
✅ Finding the Glimmers!
We are often prompted to look for triggers...but what's the opposite of a trigger?
