In 2018, more than 800 educators from around the world gathered in Fort Worth, Texas for the World Positive Education Accelerator (WPEA) – and something powerful was set in motion.
From that gathering emerged the Positive Education Consortium, a nonprofit network that sparked an ongoing conversation about helping educators create thriving learning communities.
For eight years, Consortium members have advanced positive education by amplifying student voice, connecting research and practice, and collaborating with educators to create cultures where students and staff thrive.
The conversation continues...
Thank you to everyone who joined the first of our six conversations on becoming a changemaker. Educators from around the world gathered to explore how Positive Education supports wellbeing.
Russell Sage College shared how they are reimagining teacher preparation by embedding Positive Education into daily practice—showing that this work is not about adding more, but integrating what matters most.

Next session: Wednesday, April 8 at 2 PM ET
Join leaders and teachers from Ridley College for What Lights Students Up—a conversation on helping young people connect more meaningfully to their academic journey.
You’ll hear how leaders create conditions that boost engagement, alongside student stories of success from the classroom, stage, and field.
Participants will also practice strength-spotting, explore Positive Education in action, and leave with practical ideas to apply in their own classrooms and schools.
