About This Teach-Out

In times of crisis, like the coronavirus and COVID-19 pandemic, we can still find ways to thrive by using positive practices. When many of us feel challenged enough just getting through the day, thriving simply means finding ways to meet those challenges — large or small — with creativity, resourcefulness, and agility. Join this Teach-Out to learn about practices that allow people and organizations to thrive, even during trying times.

We invite you to join us in the Thrive in Trying Times Teach-Out, a free learning experience and global conversation to consider how positive practices might help you navigate this time of stress. You will learn with experts from the Center for Positive Organization at the University of Michigan Stephen M. Ross School of Business about how you can create these conditions using specific, evidence-based practices from the field of Positive Organizational Scholarship. Throughout the TeachOut, experts will share concrete actions you can take, both as an individual and as family, an organization, and community.

This Teach-Out will answer:
- What are positive practices and how can they help us thrive in times of crisis?
- How can we meet challenges with creativity, resourcefulness, and agility during trying times?
- What specific, evidence-based practices from Positive Organizational Scholarship can individuals and organizations use to thrive?
- How can these practices be applied at different levels, including individually, within families, organizations, and communities?
- What are concrete actions that can be taken to implement these positive practices in our daily lives?

I'm annoyed at this course. There seems to be no way to actually finish it, or rather, once the course is finished, there is no way to get it off of our "In Progress" lists. Do the administrators not know how to set a completion factor? Can Coursera fix this?
very good
Thank you this was a pleasant learning experience. I have found that the teach-out course remains in my 'in progress' tab, is their a way to move it to completed?
