Course Outline:

In a world shaped by rapid technological change, artificial intelligence, and constant information flow, success is no longer determined only by what we know, but by how well we adapt and manage pressure. Resilience is therefore a critical skill for the next generation, yet it remains largely underdeveloped within the current education system.

This one-hour session explores what resilience really means, why it matters for young people today, and how it can be measured and developed in education. Drawing on Michelle’s Master’s and PhD research, the session introduces the Student Resilience Quotient Inventory (sRQi™), a psychometric tool designed to assess and support resilience in students.

Session Will Include:

• The changing world: AI, technology and increasing pressure on young people
• What resilience really means and why it matters
• Insights from resilience research in education
• Measuring resilience using the Student Resilience Quotient Inventory (sRQi™)
• Digital wellbeing and the impact of the online world on young people

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of the session participants will:

• Understand resilience as a skill that can be developed, not a fixed trait
• Gain insight into current research on resilience in young people
• Learn how resilience can be measured using psychometric tools
• Reflect on how schools and educators can better support student resilience
