• Resilience is a life skill that all teachers should focus on throughout students' education careers. As members of the school, we cannot wait for resilience to materialize organically for each student. To place an emphasis on resilience in the classroom is to realize that creating people who are able to respond to challenges and setbacks is an important goal of education, if not the goal.
