"Resilience begins with beliefs. If you believe in the capacity of all individuals to demonstrate resilience, you won't give up on them. Your actions, words, and behaviors will project that message and will awaken and foster resilience in your students."
Beth Dichter's insight:
This September the publication "Educational Leadership" is focused on Resilience and Learning. There are many articles available at the ASCD website and this one provides a list of 11 reflections on resilience, available as text only or as the infographic (downloadable as a pdf). Several other items listed in this are below. * Resilience is a process, not a trait. * Everyone, regardless of age or circumstances, has the capacity for resilience. * Resilience isn't just for people from high-risk environments... Each of these has additional detail and an additional 7 are available in the post.

I chose this article because it delves into ways to mitigate adversity and develop personal strength.
Resilience is believing in what you do and even when it gets so hard and you feel so defeated, you just don’t give up. It is believing that you can rise above and achieve something in the face of disaster, disappointment and struggle. Resilience is needed in education or you will not survive. Each day you spend in school building, you carry the hopes and dreams of your students. You also carry their tragedies and trauma. Why do we do this every day over and over again? Because we are believers. We are resilient and we know we hold the potential to change lives and promote success in all of our students.
