How can we adapt any lesson to nurture our learners’ positive character strengths and help them become their best selves? In this session, we will apply methods used in Positively Torah by studying various subject areas through the lens of character strengths.This approach elevates Jewish studies to leverage positive character strengths to shape classroom culture and build community. We will explore how Jewish values, such as Hakarat Hatov (recognizing the good), can be incorporated into your classroom to promote supportive relationships. This workshop provides practical ideas and strategies that are the foundation for a magical elixir combining Jewish values and positive character strengths to help your learners thrive.
