Wellbeing NCCA Junior Cycle
Cognisant of the impetus for curriculum reform at second level in Ireland, and particularly with respect to the inclusion of a wellbeing curriculum at Junior Cycle, it is now timely to revisit earlier work for the NCCA (Wellbeing and Second-Level Schooling: A Review of the Literature, O’Brien, NCCA 2008) which explored the broad terrain of wellbeing and how it relates to the schooling and education of adolescents from the perspective of human development. Building on that foundation and in the light of recent scholarship and research in the field of wellbeing and schooling, we seek to synthesise a conceptual framework for engaging with some key perspectives and approaches to wellbeing, that have relevance and meaning for second-level educators and their students. The purpose of this document is to provide ‘a wellbeing framework’, sufficiently broad to embrace a variety of significant perspectives on wellbeing and human flourishing across disciplines and fields, and that will enable educators to consider and select what is most appropriate for their students within particular schooling contexts.
