Resilience Factors
Long Term Goals
Relationships: Building
new relationships

My goals for this aspect: Actions to develop my

capability:

Indicators of success:

As a qualified educator I
aim to be proactive in
connecting with my
colleagues and other
educators in person and
through online
networking sites (eg.
linkedin).

I will have strong

friendships and
professional
relationships with my
colleagues both in
person and online.

Emotions: Dont take it As a qualified educator I

personally
hope to be able to take

criticism from parents,
teachers, students etc.
as a professional issue
rather than a personal
attack.

Emotions: Managing
emotions

with students, peers,

colleagues and
superiors.

As a qualified educator I
hope to be able to
identify early warning
signs of emotions and,
therefore, be able to
control and maximise
positive emotions.

Be present to talk to in
the staffroom and
around the school,
initiate conversations,
become involved in staff
social networks, be
positive, listen to and
assist others, and
develop close
friendships.
Identify causes of
criticism/ difficulties,
then: reframe thinking
to optimism, brainstorm
solutions, keep
perspective (and a
professional view point)
and think about positive
outcomes.
Implement ACT
(Awareness, Check
thoughts, Try
alternatives) steps when
becoming emotional,
avoid emotional triggers
(except positive) or
change approaches,
implement calming
strategies (music), and
teach students how to
manage emotions.

I will demonstrate
resilience and an ability
to improve my
professional practice
from criticism through
positive and
constructive responses
to feedback.
I will demonstrate selfcontrol in my emotions
and be regarded as a
stable and positive
educator in my
workplace.
