Taylor & Francis Ltd Promoting Positive Mental Health in the Primary
Book SynopsisMental health and wellbeing is a hugely important agenda in education, both nationally and internationally. Promoting Positive Mental Health in the Primary School unpacks scientific and psychological research and evidence to explain positive mental health through the lens of a primary classroom in the language of teaching professionals. Chapter by chapter, the book focuses on specific elements fundamental to positive mental health promotion in the classroom, including developing positive relationships, emotional literacy, empowering children as learners as well as the importance of teacher wellbeing, and illustrates how these can be achieved. It offers: An examination into the connection between positive mental health and good teaching Guidance underpinned by evidence for teachers and school leaders who wish to embed a consistent approach to positive mental health promotion Practical suggestions for whole school profeTrade ReviewTina Stones, EdD student at University of Edinburgh Following the introduction of ‘Getting it Right for Every Child’ agenda in Scotland and ‘Every Child Matters’ in England, there has been an increased interest in wellbeing in education. Further, ‘The Good Childhood Inquiry’ raised the profile of the emotional wellbeing of children and schools have a responsibility to develop the wellbeing of the children. Research suggests the implementation has been complex and not all teachers view the promotion of positive mental health as their responsibility. I would suggest that there is a real need for this book and the markets would include schools, FE colleges and HE institutions. Since the introduction of OECD measurements of the wellbeing of young people the international market will also be a possibility. I expect a sustained interest in the field of positive mental health promotion in education. I believe the topic will grow and evolve as the needs and complexities of childhood and youth grow and change. I don’t believe the book will become quickly out of date so long as it does not focus too strongly on the current policy context. Emotional literacy, wellbeing, resilience, positive mental health, nurture and positive relationships are likely to remain important agendas for primary school teachers. The evidence base for nurturing environments is growing and is likely to further expand in the future. Dr Richard Woolley, University of Worcester Mental health is an area very much to the fore in education at the present time, and will continue to be important. In England, Ofsted will focus increasingly on children’s well-being as a part of inspections, which will further raise the profile of positive mental health. A book that explores issues in way that is accessible to primary school teachers will be beneficial.
