We've talked about teaching our students to be resilient and developing courage to work through those difficult times in other articles. This article is about teachers and their need to be resilient too. Do not miss the wonderful quote by Maya Angelou. Parents are involved too in developing resilient children by limiting adversity in their live. The authors Jill Berkowicz and Ann Myers indicate that schools need to be places where we as teachers help children develop emotional skills and grow in confidence and courage. What do we do when faced with a challenge or tragedy? The authors list 6 common things we do. In helping children become resilient, we in turn may develop more resiliency ourselves.
