Staff Wellbeing Makes Schools Better
Imagine a staff climate where...
These are the competencies we're building every day
on the Positivity Playground.
The Positivity Playground is a global peer coaching community grounded in the science of positive psychology. It has been designed to meet the needs of international school leaders who are ready to make a sound, sustainable investment in the positivity and wellbeing of their faculty & staff.
Members can opt into as much or as little high-impact learning and coaching as they want at any given time.
Being part of a peer coaching community generates fresh energy, creativity, motivation, and positive action.
We meet people right where they are now and help them move forward positively at their own pace.

What Members Say About the Positivity Playground
Becki Bishop
HS Health & PE Teacher
American School
of The Hague
"Being part of a community that serves to lift others up is rewarding and good for the soul. The Positivity Playground is a great way to promote synergy in a work environment. Making wellbeing a top priority in school not only benefits the faculty and staff but has the potential to make immediate, positive changes in the lives of our students.
Through an abundance of resources, events, topics to read, discuss, and self reflect on, the Positivity Playground has much to offer and should be implemented in all schools around the world."
Olga Van Doorn
MS/HS Music, Head of Performing Arts
Dalian American
International School
"The Positivity Playground is a great platform where we can share our thoughts, highlight our ups and downs, and most importantly get immediate feedback and support from our peers and/or the Positivity Playground coaches. As a result, our school's staff members feel heard and supported, they realize that they are not alone with their problems, and there is always someone in this world who can offer a warm word, be a good listener, or share an encouraging idea."
Griet van Kuyck
Assistant to the Director of
Curriculum and Development
American School of The Hague
"Building positive reserves is what we need now and the Positivity Playground helps me to elevate my positivity ... and I can do it all at my own pace according to my own needs! I can already see a change in how some of our school community members who are a member of the Positivity Playground approach others, how they cheer each other on in the online community and strengthen their own positivity and that of others, but also how they communicate 'live' with others in a different way by being more attentive to what's positive in their collaboration or by picking up on and mentioning/acknowledging the positives in these stressful times."
Jennifer Rhodes
MS Art Teacher and
Student Ambassador Coordinator
American School of The Hague
"The Positivity Playground is indeed a playground of choices coupled with the support and sharing with friends and colleagues old and new. I’ve loved digging deeply into my Strengths Profile and finding out how and when I could use these strengths and the importance of partnering with other colleagues who compliment my 'lesser strengths.' Thoughtful discussions within the coaching sessions as well as rich conversations in the Book Club have helped me to take notice of myself and become more attuned to the world around me"
Nancy Diehl, PhD
Psychology & SEL Teacher
The Walworth Barbour
American International School of Israel
"The Positivity Playground offers a different outlet and style for professional development. Our community has appreciated the opt-in philosophy so that staff can connect synchronously and/or asynchronously. Additionally, the opportunity to connect with teachers and administrators at international schools in other countries has enriched the experience."
Kili Lay
Director of Curriculum
and Staff Development
American School of The Hague
"I love that I have an answer to those who ask, 'How might we support faculty and staff wellbeing now, amid a global pandemic, with so much uncertainty and volatility?' The Positivity Playground is one way schools can show their commitment to wellbeing. It's a boost of what you need to feel better, to feel supported, to laugh, to connect with others who are interested in topics that are also of interest to you."
