This manual presents the objectives and procedures for application of a tool from the Education Resilience Approaches (ERA) Program to help assess opportunities to foster resilience in students, or the support and process to help them succeed in school in spite of overwhelmingly difficult context. [...] The RES-school is a rapid assessment approach that contributes to an informed discussion across education actors - such as Ministry of Education officials, other service providers, school administrators, teachers, parents and students - on how schools can help students to understand activities in their lies, how education can provide relevant leaning and purpose for students at-risk, and how to address the dual academic and socioemotional needs of these students. The focus is on school policies and management, classroom instruction and parental/community participation.
