- Abstract
This paper explores the concept of student resilience and how it can be promoted in schools. Resilience is defined as the ability of students to recover and persist in academic engagement and achievement after experiencing negative events. The understanding of resilience has shifted over time, moving away from an individualistic perspective to a social-ecological perspective that recognizes the role of personal and sociodemographic characteristics and social factors such as family life, community settings, social networks, and access to resources. Resilience is not a single psychological mechanism, but rather a pattern of interactions between individuals and their environment. The paper then presents evidence-based methods for promoting student resilience in schools, which can be broadly categorized into teacher-promoting resilience and whole-school support for resilience. Teacher-promoting resilience involves positive interactions between students and school staff, setting attainable goals for student achievement, and maintaining a positive student-teacher relationship. Whole-school support for resilience involves meeting students' basic needs for food, health, and safety, promoting a positive school culture and climate, and providing access to resources and support services.
