Fostering Resilience

This handbook for education leaders illustrates the power of resiliency in the lives of students striving to succeed in school and life. The text presents four elements that characterize resilient learning communities: care for students, high expectations, substantive support, and participation. School leaders will find sample questionnaires, strategies, and tools for self-evaluation; a list of critical elements for curriculum instruction, and assessment practices; and important considerations for teacher and administrator roles.
