We discuss how joy is intrinsically linked to positive emotions and learning, and how creating joyful environments can significantly improve attendance and engagement, especially in schools facing attendance crises—like the 50% drop we saw in New Zealand during COVID. I encourage you to actively seek out and create moments of joy, both for yourself and your students, as these experiences foster psychological safety and enhance learning. Let's be mindful of how we can incorporate joy into our daily practices and interactions. I invite you to reflect on your own biases and consider how you can make joy a deliberate part of your environment.
