Can faculty help students foster academic resilience?
Absolutely! As a faculty member, you can help increase students’ academic resilience in a number of ways.
Change mindsets
Increase social belonging
Encourage self-reflection
Increase self-regulation
Integrate learning strategies
Teaching students how to manage their workload in your class, decipher a complex text, chunk a big project into smaller and more manageable sub-tasks, study efficiently and other essential skills can enhance academic performance and resilience.
Sometimes all it takes is sending the message that all students belong and are capable of great accomplishments with the proper mindset, effort and strategies for success.
