Resiliency

Resiliency Florida & SDPBC Alignment

Florida is leading a first-in-the-nation approach that empowers students to persevere and overcome life’s inevitable challenges. The Florida Department of Education developed State Resiliency Education Standards and 11 Resiliency Characteristics to help students overcome any challenge. The School District of Palm Beach County is ensuring that all Resiliency Characteristics and State Resiliency Education Standards are taught throughout the year using explicit instruction lessons from the SLL Resource Center and resources from our new SDPBC Resiliency Palm Beach Program.
