Abstract: This chapter suggests creating schools’ resilience through a holistic support model to build and sustain resilience practices. Thus, it introduces resilience and communities of practice as a conceptual framework. It then discusses how schools can implement communities of practice, through which schools’ resilience may be developed. It is common to understand resilience from individual practices, for example, in a school context it is often related to the capacity of becoming resilient individuals, that is, resilient students and teachers. However, this chapter proposes a shift from thinking resilience as an individual process to thrusting the idea of creating communities’ resilience, and more in particular, to develop schools’ resilience through the creation of communities of practice. Accordingly, it explores the development of resilient capacities to cope with conditions of uncertainty and crisis within a school community context. In doing so, first, it focuses on the creation of communities of practice with school educational actors, that is, principals, teachers, students, and families. Second, it advises a holistic support model to develop resilient capacities for the well-being of the school community. In this light, it offers strategies for the development of communities of practice at school, to build capacities and to develop schools’ resilience. Last, it discusses about some opportunities and limitations of creating schools’ resilience.
