Resiliency in Schools

This essential guide for educators and school leaders provides a practical framework for building resilience in students by embedding protective factors throughout the school environment. Drawing from decades of research on how children overcome adversity, it presents an elegantly simple change process that any educational institution can implement. The book moves beyond theory to offer concrete strategies for creating school cultures where students can thrive academically and emotionally, regardless of their background or circumstances.

What makes this approach distinctive is its focus on systemic change rather than individual interventions, showing how entire school communities can become resilience-building environments. Administrators, teachers, and support staff will find actionable guidance for transforming their practices to better serve at-risk youth. The updated edition brings fresh relevance to this critical topic, making it an indispensable resource for anyone committed to helping students overcome obstacles and reach their full potential.
