Students today face many challenges whether it’s the bully on the bus to struggling how to read, as examples. Life isn’t always easy for them. Equipping our students with science-backed ideas and strategies to help them bounce back from everyday challenges to great adversity is fostering their resilience. Sharing the latest scientific research we identify what K-8 students need to improve their level of resilience, and form a resilient mindset. Of course, we want our students to progress academically, but also socially and emotionally, which requires a hefty dose of resilience.
Participants will enjoy a lively discussion (no questions are off the table!), the clarity of the 3 R’s of Student Resilience, and a handout of science-backed strategies that can help bring resilience-building into the K-8 classroom, school and community. Author and educator, Maureen Healy, has written a well-regarded resilience curriculum for K-8 students, as well as helped schools nationwide foster student resilience.
Understanding children’s emotional health and how to help children build emotional
regulation, and intelligence is the focus of this program. Participants gain a completely
fresh perspective, and tools to nurture emotional health in themselves, as well as their
students and families.
Audience takeaways:
Helping students successfully transition from elementary to middle school takes skill,
insight, and savvy SEL strategies. The “mean girl” syndrome, bullying, and peer
pressure are real. Being able to connect and center tweens while they have tricky and
tough decisions isn’t easy – but with a proven approach middle school can be a bridge
to students’ best selves.
Audience takeaways:
Resilience is a skill that children can learn to develop regardless of their circumstances.
Being able to understand the science of childhood resilience, as well as the ideas and
skills that help students get unstuck from problems, as well as form a resilient mindset
can be game changing for the home or classroom.
Audience takeaways:
Preparing students to become successful after school requires, they develop a strong
character, build skills of emotional regulation, and make responsible decisions. Learning
how to develop a strong character in today’s world is essential education.
