Resiliency Literature


Turning Points 2000 (Jackson & Davis )

“ Among youth at risk from health or behavioral problems, family dysfunction, poverty, or other stresses, the most important school factor fostering resilience-
 defined as “successful adaptation despite risk and adversity” (Masten, 1994)- may be the availability of at least one caring adult who can function as a mentor or a role model.” ( Miller, 1998 )
“research has shown that the degree to which students are engaged and motivated at school depends to a great extent on the quality of the relationships they experience there.”
  ( Eccles & Midgley, 1998.  Lee & Smith, 1993 )
