Building Resilience for Higher-Level Learning and Higher Graduation Rates — A Practice Guide
By Dr. Bill Daggett, Dr. Sandy Addis and Thomas Hawkins
A proven 10-step framework that helps schools develop resilience
in ALL students—not just a few.
Half of students enter school with trauma-induced resilience deficiency. Research shows resilient students consistently succeed academically and graduate, while students who drop out are typically resilience-deficient.
This comprehensive practice guide gives you the tools to change that pattern.
What You’ll Get:
- Clear, educator-friendly definition of resilience
- Five-domain resilience model tested in hundreds of schools
- 10-step implementation process with documented results
- Student Resilience Inventory for measuring progress
- Ready-to-use classroom strategies
Based on six years of field testing across over 100 schools and districts. Schools following these ten steps report measurable improvements in student success and graduation rates.
