This Study unit aims to support resilience in educational practitioners, by helping them to achieve coping mechanism and other strategies to know how to work with children dealing with difficulties. Practitioner resilience could be a psychological process transforming the social and cultural negative contexts into opportunities for development. Practitioner resilience integrates in a positive way the risk and protective contextual factors and acts as a filter for the aversive social and cultural factors. Practitioner’s resilience also serves as a role model for the students. It will have an influence on the affective and transversal competencies, on the academic knowledge that could evolve into transformative knowledge. The resilient practitioner will be able to develop inspirational discourses for students and he/she will be eager to use active and involving methods for students.
