Resilience Theory as a Framework for Teaching Human Development within HBSE by Alaine Toomey, Eileen M. Brennan, and Barbara Friesen The social circumstances of substantial numbers ofchildren are declining in contemporary society. The developmental processes of these children, and ofthe adolescents and adults they become, are put at risk by circumstances ofpoverty, violence, discrimination, abuse and neglect, and parental mental illness or substance abuse (Institute of Medicine, 1989; U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1991). Theoreticians and researchers have recognized and responded to these challenges by examining Resilience in children who experience trauma or other circumstances that put them at risk yet emerge from their challenges with positive developmental outcomes (Garmezy, 1985; Rutter, 1987; Sameroff, 1993). The purpose of this paper is to propose a Framework for Teaching Human development within the Human Behavior in the Social Environment content which is grounded in the Theory and empirical work used to investigate Resilience .
The Resilience Framework In order to fully discuss the Resilience Framework, a brief literature review will be used to illustrate the diversity of conceptualizations of resilience, some basic conceptual definitions will be offered, and then the model itself will be considered.
