Dot Resiliency Series

The Dot Resiliency Series is a collection of adaptive learning experiences that target ten components contributing to improved resiliency: Active Listening, Flexibility, Planning, Prior Knowledge, Problem Solving, Logic, Reflection, Conflict Resolution, Self Efficacy, and Strengths and Weaknesses. These lessons are linked to a game that serves as an thinking pattern assessment, and are tied together with a light-hearted, personal narrative. These lessons were designed for flexibility of use, so that an instructor may deploy some or all of the series to students as he/she sees fit. Smart Sparrow has provided support and ideas around how to integrate the series into the classroom on the connected website.
