Student Resilience in Schools: Dr. Michael Ungar’s 9 Factors that Schools can Effectively Influence – 1.5-Hour VIRTUAL Workshop presented by Joan Fretz – 4:30-6pm

In educational settings, there has been an unfair emphasis on a student’s individual responsibility to change, and a lack of attention to the many social and institutional factors that make a student’s resilience possible. This session explores the 9 factors schools can successfully influence, based on the world-wide research of Dr. Michael Ungar, Director and Founder of the Resiliency Research Centre in Canada. Learn how resiliency research helps to shift our focus from psychopathology, disorder and trauma to the promotive and protective factors that positively influence academic and developmental outcomes. Extensive free resources will be provided. Eligible for 1-1/2 hours CTLE credit. If district pays, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.
