Academic Resilience Approach

Academic Resilience Approach

Academic Resilience means students achieving good educational outcomes despite adversity and
enables schools to develop strategies to build resilience in all students.
The Academic Resilience approach is a whole school approach to training.
The training content includes:

• Understanding Academic Resilience and its benefits for your school
• Recognising key theories of resilience and the relationship between risk, protective factors
  and resilience
• Identifying your own resilience and that of the children, young people and families you work
  with
• Understanding workplace resilience
• Identifying vulnerable children and those at risk
• Learning how to strategically build systemic resilience into your work

It is well known that early intervention in emotional difficulties improves outcomes for children,
families and society. Through Academic Resilience, you can help children and young people at your school enjoy higher learning and educational attainment, better behaviour and attendance and improved long term physical and mental health.

The evidence base behind Academic Resilience is the Resilience Framework based on Resilient
Therapy. This framework is what underpins the HeadStart approach in Middlesbrough/Redcar & Cleveland as part of
CAMHS transformation.

To date 76 delegates have been trained including school staff, college staff, school nurses,
commissioning services, health improvement workers, emotional wellbeing practitioners,
educational psychologists, early help workers and MAP staff.

Delivery of the training supports the sustainable approach of HeadStart as it is a train the trainer
model to be disseminated across whole staff teams.
