Hope Rising expects its new EI curriculum, "My Best Me", will continue its proven trend of improving grade averages and increasing graduation rates in middle school classrooms. The program centers around a simple three-step system of setting goals based on personal strengths, designing a clear path to attaining those goals, and cultivating the willpower needed to achieve them.
Feelings of hopelessness, depression, and anxiety have been on the rise for adolescents in recent years. Middle-school-aged students are at particularly high risk for these issues, partially due to the rush of new hormones the body experiences during this stage of development. Studies also show that this risk is further exacerbated by constant social media exposure, isolation, and a lack of physical activity.
Being aware of these trends, Hope Rising has developed "My Best Me" to teach middle schoolers how to be hopeful and use positive thinking to improve their behavior, academics, and relationships. The curriculum's three-step goal achievement method is utilized throughout its five core concepts: identity, health, community, economy, and external environment.
The curriculum envisions student practice working in teams to help build collaboration and interpersonal skills. "My Best Me" also dedicates time to students' emotional and creative expression, allowing them to sort through complex emotions and develop a more stable understanding of their identities, strengths, and role in relationships.
