Overview

In this lesson, students define resilience and learn four ways to build it. Students begin by exploring inner strength through Kendrick Lamar’s metaphor of developing a solid “inner core” – a foundation they can draw upon when facing challenges. They then explore how supportive relationships help build resilience, learn practical stress management techniques through the T.I.P.P. strategy, and discover how building mastery leads to confidence and resilience over time. The lesson culminates in students creating visual art to process and express their understanding of resilience.
