Justice is a MEd in Learning Design and Technology student and former Hawaii Positive Engagement Project (H-PEP) staff and is calling on all educators to participate in a research study:
“Through my work with educators and families during that time, I observed both the deep commitment teachers bring to their work and the significant stress many experience in sustaining that commitment.
FlourishED was inspired by those experiences.
As part of my Master’s degree in Learning Design and Technology, I developed this online learning module to explore how structured, evidence-informed strategies, including gratitude practices, mindfulness, breathing techniques, and optimistic explanatory style, may support educator stress management and coping awareness.
While the module was originally designed for preservice teachers, any educator is welcome to participate in this study.
I am asking you to participate in this research-based learning experience.
Participation involves:
- Completing a brief pre-survey
- Watching several short instructional videos
- Answering reflection and knowledge-check questions
- Beginning a simple personal wellness plan
- Trying a few positive psychology interventions (e.g., gratitude practice, breathing exercises)
- Completing a short post-survey
The full experience takes approximately 1–2 hours and can be completed in one sitting or over multiple sessions.
If you choose to participate, please complete the module no later than March 22.
Your responses will not be used to evaluate you personally. They are used solely to evaluate the effectiveness of the learning design. I am seeking at least 15 educators to participate, and each person who contributes meaningfully supports the completion of my graduate research.
If you are willing to participate, please begin here:

Thank you for considering this request and for your continued work in education.”
