Abstract

In this paper we present the key epistemological assumptions and the theoretical background of a resilience-based program within Greek schools. The program aimed to help teachers develop self- and practice-based reflective skills, as well as reducing stress and confusion in their work with “difficult” or challenging students. Primary results of a qualitative evaluation showed significant improvement both in teachers’ -awareness about their students’ psychosocial and family problems and self- or practice-based reflective skills regarding inclusive issues.
