In this section, faculty in colleges and universities will find curriculum modules that introduce students to the concept of resilience and to the role that thinking plays in overcoming the inevitable stress and adversity of life. Showing how our thinking affects our emotional responses and our coping skills is a good first step in helping students in early childhood education and other child-serving professions to develop their own resilience and to model accurate and flexible thinking for the children and families they serve.

The RIRO College Curriculum Modules were developed and piloted by community college faculty in Early Childhood Education programs in Ontario. The document consists of three modules, each with instructor notes, classroom and individual activities as well as handouts, PowerPoints and video materials.
