SPN Student Resilience Inventory

SPN Student Resilience Inventory

This inventory is designed to assess the resilience level of an individual student or a student group. This inventory is aligned with SPN’s Rigor-Relevance-Resilience Learning Model™ and is best used for students in upper-elementary grades, middle grades, and high school. There are nine questions to assess each of the five domains of the SPN Resilience Model, those being Connections, Achievement, Belonging/Safety, Autonomy, and Fulfillment. Schools and districts using this inventory may wish to evaluate or reword some items to best be understood by local student populations.

Scoring Notes:

When you click Submit Inventory, your total score for each resilience domain will be calculated automatically. Higher scores in a domain indicate areas of strength, while lower scores highlight areas that may need additional support.

For student groups, the same scoring approach can be applied: higher domain scores indicate group strengths, while lower domain scores highlight potential areas of concern.

This is an informal instrument designed for local use, may be adapted for local needs, and has not been validated or tested for reliability.
