Abstract
With the widespread prevalence of trauma in schools due to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and exacerbated by COVID-19, teachers are faced with a myriad of challenges, both in their professional and personal lives. Resilience can help teachers cope with these challenges. Resilience is the ability to adapt well, cope, and rebound in the face of challenges. Resilience is the inner strength we all have that helps us deal with challenges in healthy ways. The strength of our resilience tends to ebb and flow; there are times that you will be more resilient than other times. Being resilient does not mean that you won’t experience stress or difficulties. But you’ll be able to harness your strengths to effectively adapt and deal with them, learn, and grow. The behaviors, thoughts, and actions associated with resilience can be learned, developed, and strengthened.
