Research shows that gratitude is a predictor of both physical and mental well-being and can be regarded as a moral emotion related to recognizing the feelings and intentions of others. In turn, gratitude can lead to increased motivation to reciprocate and extend generosity to others.

Through this strategy, students explore the concept of gratitude through self-reflection and writing thank-you notes to people in their lives (in their school, community, and beyond). In the process, they are encouraged to consider the intentions and costs behind people’s giving and to express gratitude to those who positively contribute to their lives.

In this training, we’ll discuss ways to help students do the following:

  • Recognize and express gratitude to others in school and beyond

  • Consider the intentions and costs behind people’s giving, and in turn practice giving back to those for whom one feels gratitude

We look forward to sharing evidence-based best practices, but this will be an interactive experience, so we look forward to hearing what's working in your school community too!
