Abstract: Considering the critical need to support students' mental health and wellbeing, this article outlines a standards-based approach that integrates flourishing within a high school English/Language Arts classroom and supports clinical practice and professional development in a professional development school (PDS). Using the book, "The Bean Trees," the university liaison, mentor teacher, and intern worked together to co-teach a lesson that integrated flourishing, while also meeting curricular objectives. Moreover, the university liaison and mentor teacher used a gradual release model to support the student intern's clinical practice. Lastly, the three stakeholders reflected on their clinical and professional learning. Implications for integrating flourishing in content areas to support students' mental health and wellbeing through university-school partnerships are discussed.
