Hope Rising (405-676-4140) has updated its social-emotional learning (SEL) curriculum to help kids develop stronger identities and self-confidence.
Norman,United States - October 18, 2022 /PressCable/ —
The non-profit education organization has updated its ‘My Best Me’ SEL curriculum with age-appropriate exercises designed to help schoolchildren recognize, develop, and fortify their identities from an early age. Children are often confused by having to please different constituencies – parents, teachers, and peers. This can distract them from focusing on their own character, skills, and potential – to the detriment of both their mental health and academic performance.

Hope Rising’s revised social-emotional learning curriculum is inspired by the science of hope and informed by the latest evidence-based research on the best strategies for promoting healthy childhood development. SEL does not allow for participation trophies, rather it encourages students to test themselves by setting and accomplishing goals with real-world meaning. Moreover, the lesson plans help teachers foster positive relationships with their students, promoting a more respectful and trusting learning environment that enables kids’ growth.
SEL researchers believe that when educators cultivate a caring school environment and teach core social skills, children learn to recognize and manage emotions, care about others, behave more responsibly, and refrain from negative behaviors. This can lead to a virtuous cycle in which positive interactions lead to more positive interactions – fostering a climate of mutual respect and enjoyment between students and teachers, establishing bonds, and inspiring both parties to perform at their highest level.

To track the growth of hope in students, Hope Rising’s curriculum includes a pre- and post-curriculum hope evaluation, called The Hope Survey. The purpose of this six-question self-reporting tool based on the research of Dr. Chan Hellman – a pioneer in the field and a member of the organization’s board – is to gauge a student’s level of hope before beginning the program. After completing the curriculum, schools and teachers can see how much a student’s hope has increased over time.
Hope Rising’s ‘My Best Me’ curriculum includes hardcopy and digital texts with lessons that allow teachers instructional flexibility based upon that school district’s goals. Each lesson in the digital texts includes a printable lesson summary for parents and an editable copy of the student worksheet that can be printed or downloaded by the teacher.
The digital book is very user-friendly and includes many tools to help students learn, including highlighted terms that provide definitions, video links, and simple-to-read lessons. Along with access to the hope survey and training videos, the teachers also have the ability to choose what the students view through digital text.
