Promoting Resilience in Higher Education
University level
BRiTE mapping to Graduate Attributes
Although the BRiTE modules contextualise resilience in the teaching profession, many of the skills and strategies they focus on are connected to broader life and employability skills. All units and courses support the development of Murdoch’s Graduate Attributes. The BRiTE modules also support the development of these attributes in the context of the teaching profession as shown below.
