Put our Amazing Strengths Framework into action
We believe in the ‘define,ʼ ‘discover,ʼ ‘discuss,ʼ ‘do,ʼ and ‘reflectʼ approach to learning. When combined with the Amazing Person Strengths Framework, our approach is unlike any other...
Our framework comprises 6 core character strengths groups: the strengths of Head, Heart, Action, Community, Meaning and Self-Regulation.
We bring them to life through stories of diverse role models. From Martin Luther King Jr. to Malala Yousafzai, Mary Seacole to Stormzy – our Amazing People demonstrate how ordinary individuals use their character strengths to achieve remarkable results.
WOW your class with our diverse role-model stories
Albert Einstein. Harriet Tubman. Frida Kahlo. Mahatma Gandhi. Jesse Owens....These are just some of our extraordinary historical figures youʼll be able to explore with your pupils. But youʼll also have teaching resources that explore the incredible stories of contemporary figures like David Attenborough, Stormzy, Greta Thunberg, and Marcus Rashford.
By exploring their character strengths, such as resilience, creativity and perseverance, you can connect these to your curriculum using our Amazing Person Strengths Framework. Through these stories, your pupils will learn how remarkable role models, like the worldʼs first computer programmer, Ada Lovelace, overcame adversity to achieve remarkable outcomes and how they can apply these inspiring strengths to their own lives.
Our role model stories are rich with captivating content:
1.

3.
Download a detailed timeline spanning key dates alongside world events.
