RESCUR : surfing the waves - a resilience curriculum for early years and primary schools - a teacher's guide [Revised edition]

Abstract

RESCUR Surfing The Waves (Revised) is a resilience programme for early years and primary schools developed by six European universities, published in 10 languages and implemented in schools across Europe and other countries such as Australia, Russia and Turkey. The programme seeks to empower children at risk of early school leaving, absenteeism, disengagement, bullying, social exclusion and marginalisation through a universal intervention implemented within an inclusive context. Amongst its special features, it includes story telling based on two specially designed characters, mindfulness activities, ready-made activities and resources for the classroom teacher, interactive multisensory activities, take home activities, and teacher and self-assessment checklists for each theme. The 2022 revised edition of the programme includes a Revised Teachers Guide, two new story books with pictures, a Revised Parents Guide, and three revised manuals of activities and resources for Early Years, Early Primary Years and Late Primary Years respectively.
