Fostering Resilience in Educational Settings
摘要
Resilience among students and teachers is critical to the development of their individual flourishing and societal progress at large. Keeping this in view an attempt is made to provide an evidence-based approach to resilience and a model for supporting children and adults in the face of life’s challenges, adversities, problems, pressures, strains, or negative events. It not only acts as one’s own personal protective equipment against life’s adversities and hardships but also helps one to be calm, composed, resourceful and productive and above all, supports one’s overall well-being. Resilience is ordinary, and people commonly demonstrate it. However, developing resilience is a personal journey, so out of the varying strategies used by resilient persons it is very important to develop one’s own personal strategy for resilience. The chapter provides an overview of the various strategies that can be used for building one’s own personal road to resilience. The educational institutions need to promote resilience and well-being for students and teachers.
