Summary/Abstract: The development of resilience among support teachers is essential for maintaining professional and emotional balance in inclusive education. This study examines the evolution of the resilience concept, from risk- and protection-focused approaches to contemporary dynamic and systemic models, highlighting the role of personal resources and social and institutional support. In practice, resilience involves emotional self-regulation, cognitive flexibility, social support, goal-oriented engagement, and transforming challenging experiences into opportunities for professional growth. Donders’ approach provides a practical framework for identifying internal resources, understanding risk and protective factors, and developing personalized coping strategies. Emotional resilience, as a learned and cultivated process, is a central condition for the efficiency and sustainability of support teachers’ work in inclusive settings.
