Based on educational research, this book will help school
librarians create an environment that supports resilience in their
school library media center. Resilience is the capacity of children
to grow up successful, content, and competent even though they are
faced with adversities like poverty, violence, illness, or neglect.
Schools can create environments that help these children succeed.
The Resilient School Library provides information about resilience
and suggests specific strategies school library media specialists
can use to support children who are at risk. These same strategies
will also strengthen the resilience of those children who are
already functioning well. After a brief introduction to the six
elements of resilience, each element is addressed in greater detail
in chapters focusing on academic efficacy, self-selected learning
goals, behavioral self-control, positive relationships with peers,
a positive relationship with a caring adult, and creating a family
situation that supports what happens in school. A chapter on
pedagogical strategies supplements comments in the six main
chapters, while a chapter on action research will help readers
document the effect of the plans they enact to support resilience.
