Product Description:


Foreword by Nan Henderson



Create a nurturing, supportive environment where students can nurture their own resiliency!



What makes one student rise above difficult circumstances, while another cannot seem to cope? Identifying the attributes of the resilient student is the first step in building resiliency in all of your students. This resource provides busy teachers with practical, innovative activities for reframing the actions of even the most at-risk students, changing the focus from problems to solutions, from deficits to strengths.



Building Resilient Students provides concrete applications for connecting five educational megatrends to six resiliency-building strategies:

  • Care and support through meaningful relationships
  • Opportunities to participate and contribute in meaningful ways

  • Pro-social bonding through positive connections with peers and adults
  • Clear boundaries and expectations that are fair and consistent
  • Life skills such as decision making, effective communication, and stress and conflict management
