Draft+of+the+Literature+Review

=== Literature reveals a longitudinal framework of four waves of resilience research and provides suggested starting points for future research. Current research in the field of resilience has moved beyond studies of risk factors, protective factors and interventions to focus on genetic research and developmental cascades, the process of change which moves across domains or levels in a system. The working definition of resilience has been modified to reflect more of a dynamic interaction between an individual or a system and its unique environment. This literature review will highlight the conceptual and theoretical frameworks for the study. Three themes will be explored – historical development of research in resilience, implications for schools, and the role teachers’ perceptions, beliefs and attitudes. Each strand of literature is critical in designing a study that will facilitate the translational of research into practice. ===
