The North Fond du Lac School District has received an Eye on Innovation Award for its embrace of positive psychology to improve the happiness and success of students, staff and families.  Superintendent Aaron Sadoff says the school district trained its staff in Harvard professor Shawn Achor’s “Orange Frog” philosophy that cultivating a positive mindset leads to happiness which fuels success.  Sadoff says  Achor’s book “The Happiness Advantage” describes seven research-based principles to increase positivity and happiness that, in turn, will drive success, engagement and satisfaction.  Sadoff says more than 180 School District of North Fond du Lac employees participated in one-day workshops to learn how Anchor’s principles can create positive school environments and improve student learning and achievement.  The district also has created website content for families to learn more about the  Orange Frog philosophy and has sponsored school events promoting a fun, positive culture.
