Positive Psychology in Inclusive Education

Positive Psychology in Inclusive Education: Theory, Research, and Evidence-Based Practices explores how principles of positive psychology can meaningfully strengthen inclusive education by shifting the focus from deficits to strengths, well-being, and holistic development. The book integrates theory, empirical research, and classroom-based evidence to examine key constructs such as emotional intelligence, academic resilience, motivation, academic self-efficacy, engagement, and positive school climate in diverse and inclusive learning settings. It highlights evidence-based strategies and assessment approaches that support learners with disabilities and marginalized groups, while aligning with contemporary inclusive education policies and teacher education frameworks. By bridging research and practice, the book offers practical guidance for teachers, teacher educators, researchers, and policymakers seeking to create inclusive classrooms that promote both academic achievement and psychological flourishing.
