Enhancing Teacher Resilience Through Face-to-Face Training: Insights from the ENTREE Project

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Resilience in Education

Abstract

This chapter provides a project overview of the ENhancing Teacher REsilience in Europe (ENTREE) face-to-face training programme aimed to foster teachers’ relationships, wellbeing and commitment to education and schooling and, through this, their effectiveness in teaching. Six face-to-face training modules were developed, using the themes of resilience (module 1), relationships in school settings (module 2), emotions and stress management (modules 3 and 4) and pedagogical skills for effective teaching and classroom management (modules 5 and 6). In this chapter, we provide some background to the module development, the theoretical underpinning and structure of each module along with evaluations from the implementation. Implications for further training and development of the programme are discussed.
