Research shows that gratitude is a powerful force in building and maintaining relationships. In schools, gratitude that is expressed meaningfully can help both teachers and students feel valued and improve learning outcomes. However, what do we do when faced with negative attitudes or difficult relationships? How can we lead with gratitude? This workshop will explore the interplay between gratitude and its opposite – resentment. Participants will discover research-based practices that enable gratitude to be more accessible and sustainable, thereby fulfilling its transformative role in creating a positive school culture.

Dr Kerry Howells is an author, award-winning educator and experienced researcher, who has spent over 25 years exploring, teaching and practising gratitude. Her book, Gratitude in Education: A Radical View, has been used globally to guide educational programmes, teacher education courses, and many professional book clubs. Kerry’s latest research explores the complexity of practising gratitude in the midst of difficult relationships, and she outlines strategies to address this in her newly released and already critically acclaimed book, Untangling you: How can I be grateful when I feel so resentful?
