- Summary:
- If your effort to improve student achievement is challenged by adverse factors outside the classroom, then here's a resource that will help you nurture students' natural resiliency and help your learning community respond effectively with a positive program. Use the video scenes and workshop outlines in this DVD to Show how schools are breaking through barriers to achievement by understanding the role of resiliency. Create the conditions that foster resiliency in teachers and students throughout your school or district. Inspire staff members to boost student achievement by incorporating strategies that foster resiliency in their own classroom and school setting. Use Program 1, Understanding the Role of Resiliency, to explain the strong link between achievement and resiliency. Program 2, Building Resiliency in the Classroom, reveals the teaching strategies and classroom practices that boost achievement by fostering resiliency in students. And Program 3, Sustaining Resiliency in Students, explores the characteristics of resiliency in depth through the profiles of several resilient students. Two workshop formats with handouts and readings give you many options for presenting a compelling program to audiences throughout your school community.
