Auditor Abstract
Positive Education is an approach to education that blends academic learning with

ABIGAIL OFICIAR, RGC, RPm character & well-being. Preparing students with life skills such as: grit, optimism,
P.R.O.
Tarlac Agricultural University resilience, growth mindset, engagement, and mindfulness amongst others. Positive
education is based on the science of well-being and happiness.
OLIVER G. CURA, RGC
Business Manager
Tarlac State University The pursuit of happiness has always been the aspiration of all human beings.1 In
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
recent years, a growing global movement for happiness has been driven by mounting
global challenges that are undermining happiness in wider society; namely income
DANILO OFICIAR , RGC inequality, growing intolerance, environmental degradation and unprecedented
HEIs
Tarlac Agricultural University technological advancement. In schools, learners are also facing the repercussions of
such challenges in a world that is more competitive, stress fueled and test-focused
NERISSA SENAJONON than ever before. At the same time, a growing body of research has highlighted the
Deped Province
St. Ines East Elementary School crucial relationship between happiness and educational quality, whereby schools
that prioritize learner wellbeing have the potential to be more effective, with better
Ecumenical Christian College learning outcomes and greater achievements in learners’ lives.
Positive Education embraces the relationship between education and well-being and
is defined as the ‘double helix’ of academics coupled with character and wellbeing
(IPEN, 2016b). Within these concepts of happiness, three important linkages are
Ex Officio
found: Happiness is something collective that is obtained through friendships and
relationships. 2. Education is essentially holistic and multidimensional. 3. Education
can lead to happiness, but can also be a source of happiness in and of itself.
Advisers Therefore, we can learn to be happy, but we can also be happy to learn.

Abstract
Auditor
Positive psychology is sometimes referred to as “the science of happiness.” The goal

ABIGAIL OFICIAR, RGC, RPm is to minimize negativity in one’s thinking and behavior, to develop a
P.R.O.
Tarlac Agricultural University more optimistic attitude that will enhance, rather than disrupt one’s social,
professional, and spiritual life. Positive therapists and counselors use a variety of
OLIVER G. CURA, RGC exercises and interventions to help their clients become more self-aware and identify
Business Manager
Tarlac State University their own positive traits and strengths.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Positive psychology can be applied to children and adults in educational settings and
DANILO OFICIAR , RGC mental health facilities, as well as in private counseling practices. There is also a
HEIs
Tarlac Agricultural University place for positive psychology outside the realm of therapeutic practice, such as in
human resource management and business administration.
NERISSA SENAJONON
Deped Province
St. Ines East Elementary School Unlike traditional psychology that focuses more on the causes and symptoms of
mental illnesses and emotional disturbances, positive psychology emphasizes traits,
Ecumenical Christian College thinking patterns, behaviors, and experiences that are forward-thinking and can help
improve the quality of a person’s day-to-day life. These may include
optimism, spirituality, hopefulness, happiness, creativity, perseverance, justice, and
the practice of free will. It is an exploration of one’s strengths, rather than one’s
weaknesses. The goal of positive psychology is not to replace those traditional forms
Ex Officio
of therapy that center on negative experiences, but instead to expand and give more
balance to the therapeutic process.

Abstract
Auditor
The psychological, social, and emotional needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender, and questioning youth often go unmet in schools. These students may
ABIGAIL OFICIAR, RGC, RPm be "out and proud" or they may be silent and invisible; either way, providing
P.R.O.
Tarlac Agricultural University effective services to them creates unique challenges for professional school
counselors. Providing direct services in schools may be difficult; therefore, indirect
OLIVER G. CURA, RGC methods may create a more hospitable environment for LGBTQ youth. It's
Business Manager
Tarlac State University important to recognize that many LGBTQ people experience stressful situations
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
related to sexual orientation and gender identity throughout their lives. Yet most
survive and thrive, demonstrating resilience - perhaps due to having had to acquire
DANILO OFICIAR , RGC many developmental assets as a result of navigating the significant number of risks
HEIs
Tarlac Agricultural University they may face. Resilience in LGBTQ youth is an area that investigators are just
beginning to explore.
NERISSA SENAJONON
Deped Province
St. Ines East Elementary School The purpose of including creative approaches in serving the LGBTQ is to offer a
better understanding of the complexities that sexual minority youth deal with in
Ecumenical Christian College schools and to offer school counselors and others working in the school environment
creative ways to work with LGBTQ students.
People who work with youth have a very real opportunity and a responsibility to
Ex Officio
address the needs of LGBTQ young people. These youth have the right to expect
that they will be understood and respected. By making program environments more
inclusive, those who work with youth can begin to address some of the disparities
Advisers LGBTQ adolescents face, and can equip youth with knowledge and skills to be more
successful and resilient as they reach adulthood.
