Building Resilience for Higher-Level Learning and Higher Graduation Rates — A Practice Guide
By Dr. Bill Daggett, Dr. Sandy Addis and Thomas Hawkins
Move beyond random acts of resilience to systematic, school-wide implementation that impacts every student.
When schools build resilience strategically, students don’t just survive challenges—they thrive academically and develop skills for lifelong success.
The Complete Framework:
- The Rigor-Relevance-Resilience Learning Model™ integration
- Five Domains of Resilience (Connection, Achievement, Belonging, Autonomy, Fulfillment)
- 10 Strategic Implementation Steps
- Student Resilience Inventory for progress measurement
Schools implementing this framework report documented improvements in student achievement, engagement, and completion rates. The systematic approach ensures sustained impact rather than temporary gains.
Evidence-Based Results: Six years of field testing across over 100 schools and districts validates this approach.
