Resilience Pedagogy Action Study (IRB-FY2024-8)

Music, Resilience and Life Skills: A Preliminary Report

The goal of my first-year seminar course, “Music, Resilience, and Life Skills" is to address student wellbeing as early as possible in their college experience, ideally strengthening student resilience, enhancing academic potential and improving retention. I am currently running an assessment to determine its effectiveness, using both the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and the "Transformation Rubric for Engaged Learning." This preliminary report will discuss the results for the data from the Fall of 2023.
