Virtual School Wellness Plan

The previous post on making plans included options for personal and family wellness plans based on Positive Psychology. I am hearing that the MS and HS through advisory are pretty far along in introducing PERMAH and the Character Strengths into their language of learning. Thus, the wellness plan templates already provided should work for our MS and HS students who want to create wellness plans whether for virtual school or life in general. 🙂

The ES is in the trial stage for the PEEC lessons so another wellness plan template not based on Positive Psychology is needed. One approach for ES teachers could be to design a plan through a lesson guiding the students to brainstorm on the topic of what it means to be well during virtual school. You could guide your students to come up with wellness categories as in fitness, diet, etc. to then list them in your wellness template. An inquiry and self-directed approach could then have the students drawing on their current understanding of each category to then research to find out more. The next step could be to set goals and implement action plans to reach the goals. Students could then pair up to have wellness buddies to support each other which connects to the R in PERMAH of having a buddy during virtual school.

Here is a draft for an elementary virtual school wellness plan to get you started.
