Bernard's summary of the resilience approach
The TA Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports has been established by the Office of Special Education Programs, US Department of Education to give schools capacity-building information and technical assistance for identifying, adapting, and sustaining effective school-wide disciplinary practices.
The Responsive Classroom is an approach to elementary
teaching that emphasizes social, emotional, and academic growth in a strong and safe school community. The goal is to enable optimal student learning. Created by classroom teachers and backed by evidence from independent research, the Responsive Classroom approach is based on the premise that children learn best when they have both academic
and social-emotional skills. The approach therefore consists of classroom and schoolwide practices for deliberately
helping children build academic and social-emotional
competencies.
Scholastic: A successful classroom community promotes positive social skills and academic achievement. Children learn best when they feel they are part of a community,
where everyone feels accepted and where individuality is encouraged. Creating a Classroom Community requires planning and practice. Read how you can help foster a sense of belonging where children learn how to participate in class meetings, work collaboratively and resolve conflicts peacefully.

Mission:
The National Resilience Resource Center (NRRC) assists school, community, and
organizational leaders in enhancing capacity to tap natural, innate health or
resilience of youth, families, communities, and systems. The goal is to assist
leaders to view all students, residents, clients, or organizations as "at
promise" rather than "at risk." See "From the Inside: Kathy Marshall helps
communities find peace by fostering resilience."
Philosophy:
This operating philosophy is grounded in resilience research spanning more
than 50 years in a wide variety of disciplines. The primary NRRC strategy for
tapping resilience has been developed from a best practice known as Health
Realization. This resilience operating philosophy is the foundation for ongoing
NRRC educational programs and technical assistance designed to promote full
human development and well-being, and improve program outcomes

Emotional Intelligence concludes with a series of appendices. The first three of these, “What Is Emotion?”, “Hallmarks of the Emotional Mind,” and “The Neural Circuitry of Fear,” summarize the current state of scientific knowledge of the emotions. This material is excellent. Goleman would have done better to publish the appendices and throw the rest of the book away, or at least drastically shorten it.
When I was halfway through writing this review, I found Goleman’s Web site, which contains an “Emotional IQ Test,” consisting of ten multiple-choice questions. Each question presents a hypothetical situation and four possible responses. My score on this test was 80. Whether this result reflects my deficiencies or Goleman’s is left as an exercise for the reader.
"Reflection and goal-setting are often a focus for adults in January, when the beginning of a new calendar year prompts us to think about what we’ve accomplished and what we hope to do next. You can bring this reflective , purposeful energy into your classroom by having your students revisit the hopes and dreams they chose at the beginning of the year." Includes references to four books that lend themselves to this sort of reflective thinking and envisioning possibility.
