An Application of Positive Psychology in an Inclusive Primary School in Slovakia

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest to identify and assess indicators of school quality in Slovakia. Social-emotional health of pupils and teachers has been identified as one of the most important criterion of school quality. This chapter reports on social-emotional health of pupils and teachers in a Slovak inclusive primary school. The main organizational principles of an inclusive primary school in Bratislava, Slovakia are presented. The social-emotional health of teachers and students was assessed via an adapted Social-Emotional Health Survey-Secondary (SEHS-S). Findings of this pilot project indicate that teachers and pupils reported high level of social-emotional health associated with school’s core organizational principles guided by positive education frameworks.
