Abstract: This study examines the classroom instruction and learning environment of resilient, average, and nonresilient students in an elementary school consisting of predominantly Hispanic students. A total of 223 students from 4th and 5th grade classrooms participated in the study. All students were asked to complete the "My Class Inventory" survey. A sub-sample of students (n = 127) was also systematically observed in their classroom environment using the "Classroom Observation Schedule" (COS). Overall, this study found significant differences between resilient and nonresilient students in reference to their classroom behavior and perceptions of their learning environment. The findings are discussed in relation to the potential mediating role of the classroom environment in fostering resilience among academically at-risk students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
