The Global Happiness unit is designed for a senior level Psychology course. It thematically
addresses standards multiple units, including Research Methods, Biological Psychology,
Emotions and Social Psychology. The classroom is set up in cooperative groups (6 groups of 4
students). Students are expected to move from individual, to group, to whole class activities
routinely. In addition to addressing several psychological content standards, the unit also
requires students to develop literacy skills addressed in the Common Core. The unit can be used
at any point throughout the year and is meant to be taught over the course of a week, though
additional time will need to be allotted for students to complete the unit assessment. Students
