Research shows that students who build resilience, self-awareness and problem-solving skills have improved academic performance and overall well-being.
Focus Area
Strategically implementing Resilient Student practices throughout every classroom requires differentiated training for your teachers, buy-in from all educators, and a clear path to success. Our comprehensive professional learning plans are built from four distinct phases to support educators at all levels throughout your district.
Designed to give your team the chance to collaborate and normalize new concepts, language, and resilient student practices, our in-person launch experiences bring together the teachers, instructional leaders, and building leaders that will work together to implement resilient student practices throughout the district.
Teachers engage in job-embedded Coaching with a specially matched coach to receive personalized support for enacting resilient student practices. Using the Try-Measure-Learn method, coaches guide teachers to plan lessons, try new strategies, and measure the impact for students.
Know what effective learning for resilient students looks like in the classroom, how to support teachers to achieve their target outcomes, and build your ongoing learning plan for continuous improvement. Learning Walks are a non-evaluative tool that helps instructional leaders identify and celebrate new resilient student teaching practices.
Virtual Workshops offer teachers the opportunity to collaborate and build an actionable plan to create the resilient student changes you want to see in classrooms. With the guidance of a facilitator, teachers will set goals, identify manageable next steps, and create a path to work towards their chosen outcomes.
Outcomes are the goal of all of our learning experiences. Each experience is tied to an outcome to ensure that changes are measurable and impactful for both students and teachers. For Resilient Students, we focus on helping educators achieve the below outcomes.
Outcome: I integrate strategies that help students build healthy self-management and self-awareness habits.
Outcome: I build a classroom in which students make responsible decisions.
Outcome: I strengthen classroom community by supporting strong peer-to-peer and teacher-student relationships.
Outcome: I utilize de-escalation tactics and mindsets.
Outcome: I cultivate positive character development in my classroom.
Successfully implementing resilient student learning practices throughout a district can take one to three years, depending on your district’s size. Our comprehensive learning plans incorporate in-person, virtual, group, and self-directed learning experiences throughout the full school year to support sustainable changes in practice. Our team will create a learning plan that is tailored to your district’s strategic plan, and includes a mix of learning experiences backed by research and focused on target outcomes.
