Abstract
Resilience is generally considered to be a capacity to act and adapt in the face of adversity or constraint, and is the result of a complex interplay of risk and protective factors. Initially focused on the individual, the resilience concept and research have extended to groups such as teams and communities. In this chapter, we examine conceptualisations of resilience and research about the development of individual, team and community resilience by engaging data from three research projects in diverse educational contexts: a community informatics project in a regional town; teachers and their work supporting student well-being; and a university education research team. The chapter concludes by synthesising key implications of resilience for understanding and building capacities in educational settings.
