ABSTRACT
Chapter 8 explains the role we will play as educators in helping our students recognize and develop their resilience. This chapter allows readers a lens to view the experiences our students have lived during the pandemic, as well as practical advice about how to leverage pandemic gains and stop the deficit analysis of our students. The chapter will help educators navigate the “losses” while helping reframe thinking to focus on the gains. We all know that assessments aren’t going anywhere, but in this chapter, I’ll suggest some ways that formative and summative assessments can help students gain resilience.
