The research behind the strengths

The Strengths School in Pomelo is built on research into socio-emotional development, learning and wellbeing. For every strength the class can train, there is an in-depth article here that describes the research-based reasoning behind it — which theories and concepts it rests on, what the research says about how the skill develops, and what that means for the work in the classroom.

The articles are written for you as a teacher, school leader or someone otherwise working with the students. They are not part of the exercises and require no action — they are here for those who want to understand more about why we train what we do.
