November 2023 - Attitude of Gratitude

Attitude of Gratitude 

Week 1

How does the practice of gratitude improve the lives of students?

What is Gratitude? Gratitude has been defined in a number of ways. Researchers who study the effects of gratitude define it as more than just feeling thankful for something - it is more like a deeper appreciation for someone or something, which produces longer lasting positivity. Practicing gratitude is not necessarily an innate behavior for all people. However, “gratitude seems to work like a muscle” (Owen Griffith, Practicing Gratitude in the Classroom) - the more you utilize it, the more you develop your gratitude muscles. (From Lewis-Palmer HS Gifted and Talented website)
