Fostering Resilience

As students are met with challenges in and out of the classroom, it’s easy to believe that students just lack coping skills. But instead of placing all the blame on their shoulders, we should consider that maybe students shouldn’t have to be so resilient. Maybe we should be creating environments where they feel engaged and supported instead. This module is designed to help faculty understand concepts of resiliency and use strategies that create supportive environments for your students.
