'Promoting Resilience in the Classroom in an Everyday Way' – 22 August, 2012

We were pleased to announce this professional development opportunity at Hillarys Yacht Club with School of Education lecturer Helen Egeberg. This presentation took the latest resilience research and applied it to everyday processes in the classroom. Questions asked included: “How do you build resilience in the morning?” and “What does resilience look like when you are disciplining a student?”. Through this, professional development attendees gathered memorable, practical, and easy to implement tips to enhance the resilience of students.
