In today’s world, students are faced with an overwhelming amount of pressure, not just academically, but also in coping with an increasing number of external factors and challenges. As educators, how can we support them through these struggles? We have to get creative, try different things, and be willing to enlist help from others.

I was recently able to put this advice into practice myself, thanks to a collaboration with musician and anti-bullying advocate RobenX. The two of us worked together to teach students about resilience, but it was a learning experience for me as well; not only did I discover many strategies for reaching students in new and lasting ways, I was also able to apply some of RobenX’s messages to my own life.
