A Tale of Two Stories: The Tools of ResiliencePresented by Lisa Chavenson, Becky Crossfield, and Bernadette Janis
Resilience • We learned from the presentation on the emotional brain that there are two tales that are always active- one of stress, often toxic stress and one of resilience. • In this program participants will explore how a story of challenge and obstacles evolves into a story of resilience. We will connect this to the four lenses of learning.
Today we’re exploring your own tale of resilience • What it is • How it connects to the PLN frameworks • How it informs your practice • How you can impact your students by amplifying their resilience
Here’s what we’re talking about: re·sil·ience: 1. the power or ability to return to the original form, position, etc., after being bent, compressed, or stretched; elasticity. 2. ability to recover readily from illness, depression, adversity, or the like; buoyancy. Grit: Backbone, chutzpah, fortitude, guts,stick-to-it-iveness A. Duckworth
Resilience is where you find it!Consider these tales of resilience. Focus question: How was he resilient? What supported his development of grit? Read aloud: If She Only Knew Me by Jeff Gray and Heather Thomas
Ben Carson I’m going to tell you about someone who I think demonstrated grit and resilience. As I do, listen and think: Focus question: • How was he resilient? What supported his development of grit?
Please do now: • (Before): • Fill in the thought bubble: • What do you know about yourself and resilience? How are you resilient? What has supported your development of grit?
The Four Lenses of Learning and Resilience • Human Lens • What you tell yourself • How you support yourself • How you are your own advocate • Language-based Lens • Literature titles and authors of resilience • Meaning-centered Lens • Mantras • Personal Beliefs • Visualization in the mind • Social Lens • Key relationships • Mentor and role models 8
The Four Lenses of Learning and Resilience: Tools Human Language-based Meaning-centered Social
Share and collate: • During: • In your small group, connect your tools of resilience to strategies for building resilience in our students. Brainstorm ideas and record on the back of the new four square template provided. • These strategies will reflect the lenses just like your tools do. • I’ll show you what I mean.
Share out • Keep the lenses in mind. • On the other side You have a notemaking template for recording these brilliant ideas!
Here are some ideas, embedded in this workshop, that you might want to try: • “Read alouds” or “listen tos” to intro a topic • Focus questions to guide thinking and zero in on the pertinent info • Thought bubbles • Categorizing experiences by lenses- reflecting independently and reflecting collaboratively. • Scaffolding thought processes using templates • Adaptations of Lisa’s adorable ticket out the door guy
Ticket out the door- You keep it! • Complete the “ticket out the door person”. • Turn and talk.
What do you want to take away with you? • (After) Use “ your guy.” Write: • Head: What are you thinking about differently? • Hands: What do you have to give based on your own story of resilience? • Foot: What steps do you want to take? • Heart: How do you want to share this with your students? • Six months from now, what do you want to remember?
Thanks for participating in our workshop! • Becky • Bernadette • Lisa
