Schools and colleges need to create systems which are flexible and responsive to changing guidance and meet the need of everyone in the community. The crisis has demonstrated schools’ central role in the community as well as the rich depth of education they provide including and beyond the curriculum.
Boingboing has a whole school approach to resilience. We use evidence that structural inequalities impact on resilience and need to be addressed alongside teaching someone to behave resiliently. This means thinking ahead about how inequality might affect someone and mitigating the risks or protecting good things in their lives. Saturating the school environment with resilience-building opportunities can be done by planning ahead, creatively finding ways to involve and consult pupils, staff and parents and making sure that resilience is everyone’s business.
