A robust and powerful set of wellness activities (42) for grade 7-12 classrooms of all subjects, organized across ten evidence-based domains of well-being, rooted in positive psychology.

This book shows educators why and how to put well-being in its rightful place beside learning at the very heart of schooling. A blend of practical activities and research-based approaches empowers Grade 7-12 teachers to cultivate positive wellness not just for themselves and their students, but for the entire school community. Classroom teachers will appreciate the over 100 ready-to-use cross-curricular wellness activities, spread across nine domains of well-being, in their Grades 7-12 classrooms Educational leaders can adopt the sharing strategies, including school-wide extensions, “lifeplay” and shareable activities, to spread wellness practices across schools, districts and into the community.

Jeff Catania conceived and led a variety of K-12 district programs including mindfulness, restorative practices, and well-being. He is a contributing author to Rebooting Assessment (awarded IBPA Ben Franklin gold medal for best book in education) with Damian Cooper, Talk About Assessment (with Damian Cooper), and The Joy of X: Mathematics Teaching in Grades 7-12 (with Shirley Dalrymple and George Gadanidis). Jeff now runs support groups, offers math therapy, and facilitates learning around wellness, mindfulness, and restorative practices. Visit Jeff at https://alove.ca.
