- Canadian Example. The London District Catholic School Board, together with community partners in a Northeast, London, Ontario
neighbourhood have embarked on a Youth Resiliency Demonstration Project. This project is part of the work of the Student Support Leadership Initiative. The Project uses the Youth Resiliency Framework (Resiliency Canada 2001) as its foundation. This framework promotes developmental strengths through resiliency assessment and development. The ability to assess the impact of interventions on outcomes through specific measurement tools is a unique feature of the Framework. The demonstration project is two-fold. First resiliency surveys were administered and completed by 278 students from grade 7-12 in December 2009. School and community partners gathered to analyze the data and develop mutually supportive action plans to enhance strengths and address challenges identified by the children and youth. From February to June 2010, these action plans will be implemented in the schools and community. A post assessment of resiliency will be completed by the same students in June 2010. The second area of focus is the development of a Professional Learning Community (PLC) including both school and community professionals. The PLC will build on the Resiliency model and will provide on-going opportunities to build trust, develop common language, knowledge and skills
