"Participating in the Positive Educator Certification Course has been a transformative experience, and much of that is thanks to Christy Smith’s guidance and insight. Her deep understanding of adolescent development and practical application of positive psychology made the course not only inspiring but immediately usable in my sixth-grade classroom.Â
At the heart of the experience was the relationship that was fostered amongst my colleagues under Christy’s intelligent and intuitive leadership. Her extensive experience as a classroom teacher, and her breadth and depth of knowledge as a Positive Psychology practitioner was professionally and personally inspiring. From cultivating a positive mindset in students to identifying and nurturing their unique character strengths, each session was grounded in real classroom examples and supported with tools that actually work. Take a class with Christy...I'm certain you’ll feel better about yourself and your job!"
