Promoting Resilience in Higher Education
Degree level
Audit and ‘best fit’
Because the BRiTE modules were already being used in particular units within the Bachelor of Education degree, the audit involved examination of program information and unit guides, conversations with staff, mapping units against BRiTE themes and deciding on ‘best fit’.
Program audit
Key questions:
- How is resilience being promoted and where?
- Contextual considerations – where is the best place for resilience to be promoted in our program?
- What kinds of tasks/activities are being used in conjunction with the BRiTE modules?
- Are there any other informal approaches being used?
Conversations with staff
Key questions:
Regarding teacher resilience, what main ideas do you emphasise in your teaching?
Conversations with Dr Christine Glass, Dr Audrey Fernandez-Satar, Dr Rebecca Saunders and Fiona Cumming.
