Description
Teacher resilience has gained prominence in educational research due to its critical role in supporting teachers’ well-being, effectiveness, and retention in challenging school contexts. This systematic review identifies and synthesizes effective strategies for enhancing teacher resilience across diverse educational settings. Analyzing 34 peer-reviewed articles published between 2018 and 2025 and indexed in Scopus and SSCI journals, this study adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines for criteria identification, data selection, and analysis procedures. The findings reveal four key categories of resilience strategies including (1) Intrapersonal strategies (i.e., emotional regulation, identity development, and cognitive reframing to promote adaptability); (2) Interpersonal strategies (i.e., peer collaboration, supportive leadership, family understanding and strong personal networks); (3) Professional strategies (i.e., reflective practice, pedagogical flexibility, continuous learning to sustain motivation and competence); and (4) Structural strategies (i.e., school culture, workload management, and policy support to create enabling environments). These findings highlight the complex interplay between individual attributes and contextual factors in cultivating teacher resilience. Practical implications suggest that fostering resilience requires not only individual effort but also systemic support from school cultures and leadership. This review offers actionable insights for educators, school leaders, and policymakers aiming to develop environments that nurture teacher resilience and ultimately enhance educational outcomes.
