Resiliency Building
Resilience is generally described as the capacity to press beyond challenging risk factors. More specifically, educational resilience is defined as becoming academically successful even though numerous barriers are present (Bryan, 2005). Focusing on methods that build resiliency can help students dealing with various risk factors both in and out of school to improve their classroom achievement and result in positive social/emotional development. Learn about factors that impact resiliency in children and different interventions to use in your comprehensive school counseling program to enhance your students’ capacity for exhibiting both personal and educational resiliency.
