Resilience is the ability to face failure or disappointment, learn from the experience, and rise to try again. It’s one of the defining traits of those who thrive—people who experience well-being no matter their circumstances. Closely connected to grit and a growth mindset, resilience is not just a natural trait; it’s a skill that can be intentionally taught and strengthened. We know these qualities set our students up for success in school and in life—but how can we teach them effectively? And how can we do so in a way that reflects the design of our Heavenly Creator?
Join us for this interactive workshop to explore practical strategies for building resilience in students. You’ll walk away with faith-grounded, ready-to-use tools you can implement in your classroom the very next day.
