By creating more effective environments and specifically crafted interactions with students, both individual and population-wide levels of academic resilience and academic buoyancy -- and thus eventual academic progress and success -- can be dramatically enhanced and increased.

Introduction In a world full of problems, resilience becomes essential for survival. Resilience theory is based on the premise that therapists or social workers should focus on helping clients build strengths. The goal of resilience theory is to leverage existing resources and build core strengths instead of focusing on problems. This sample essay will describe what resilience theory is, where and how it is applied, and how it is related to
Resilience Mancini and Bonanno (2006) described resiliency as an ability to maintain "relatively stable, healthy levels of psychological and physical functioning" in spite of experiencing some type of very dramatic or disturbing event such as loss of loved one or some other emotionally taxing tragedy (p. 972). The authors also make the important point that resiliency is quite different from recovery in that individuals who are considered to be resilient demonstrate
Resilience, Inherited? Or Developed and Nurtured? The study describes three requisite elements for resilience.

The analysis, therefore, is anchored on the following definition that attempts to incorporate all the key elements. Thus, resilience is a strategy
