Meet Kerry Howells, Ph.D.
For the past two and a half decades, Dr. Kerry Howells has researched gratitude’s particular effect in education: from school leadership and teaching, to academic learning - and she’s witnessed firsthand how gratitude improves student-teacher relationships and student learning. Her book, Gratitude in Education: A Radical View, is changing the educational system and structure of education in Australia and around the world and has been called “groundbreaking” by reviewers. Dr. Howells is taking her research global and has spoken before the NGO at the United Nations on gratitude and human dignity - which also aptly fits her studies of gratitude within the educational framework.
