Description
Partnering For Resilience by R. Ferreira and L. Ebersohn offers a pioneering, evidence-based approach to resilience strategies in low-resource environments. Through longitudinal, participatory research conducted in South Africa, this book explores how teachers in diverse schools can leverage existing resources to create and sustain resilience despite chronic stressors like HIV & AIDS, high unemployment, and low literacy levels. The STAR model—Supportive Teachers, Assets, and Resilience—demonstrates how teachers can take ownership of challenges in their communities and implement solutions to foster caring, supportive environments. This book also delves into the integration of Participatory Reflection and Action (PRA) for collaborative knowledge production.
