Let’s explore Resilience in Education!
Similar to a slinky that returns to its original shape after being pulled, stretched or pressed, “Resilience” refers to how one reacts and adapts to stressful situations. We are excited to hear from our guest speakers as they share their expertise with us, inspiring us and our students in how to handle challenging circumstances, building confidence and competence along the way.
