This training introduces Boingboing’s Academic Resilience Approach (ARA). Here, resilience is described as a person ‘doing better than might be expected in a context of adversity’. The ARA is based on research, evidence, and practice. This training focuses on the theory behind the approach. Attendees also gain practical tips on how the ARA can be embedded in schools, colleges, and educational settings to ensure all students have a greater chance of developing resilience against life’s adversity.
