You don’t want your kids to just survive, do you?! Of course not! You want them to set and then exceed their goals, no matter their life situation. Call Hope Rising (405-676-4140) and put them on the path to success!
Resiliency: the ability, as the good bard would say, to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune - but still come out on top (he wouldn’t say that part!).
What an astonishingly useful life skill/attribute - and one that kids in your care or under your supervision can learn too.
Resilience is at the core of Hope Rising's Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum for students of all grade levels. The ‘My Best Me’ lesson plans provide tools to assess and nurture hope for both school-aged children and educators - by improving coping skills, encouraging positive relationships, and nurturing adaptive, resilient behaviors in students.

The organization offers a unique approach to SEL that develops the psycho-social skills of students through age and grade-appropriate strategies. The program’s curriculum is designed to encourage goal-oriented hope - the belief that students have the adaptive power to withstand life’s difficulties and can shape their own futures, in a healthy partnership with their peers and community.
One of the principal aims of the ‘My Best Me’ curriculum is to help students become anti-fragile - a term coined to describe the ability to benefit from disorder and stress. This is a valuable life skill and critical for those children who have suffered adverse life experiences (ACE) - including neglect, abuse, and other forms of trauma. Toxic stress, which is the recurrent activation of the brain's fight-or-flight and free stress response systems, is a factor in how ACE affects a person. Chronic stimulation of this response system can harm one's health, happiness, and opportunities in the long run.
The pandemic changed not only how you work, but also the way in which your child learns. Hope Rising has created successful home learning strategies for pupils. Since the student workbooks are only used once, they can be delivered to your residence and used for online classes. Teachers can better regulate and pace what pupils learn because they have access to the digital materials and can limit what your child can view for any given session.
The Parent Summary also allows for your involvement, as well as that of legal guardians, in the subject matter taught each week. The Parent Summary, written in both English and Spanish, accompanies every lesson in each textbook. The lessons for the children are typically taught once per week, in approximately 45-60 minutes - depending on the age and attention span of the participating students. Pre-kindergarten through eighth grade have their own books at each level, while high school has two books (Alpha and Omega).
Both SEL and the application of hope theory are commonly misunderstood and hijacked for partisan political purposes. It's not about being tough and 'taking it.' Neither is it about optimism. It's about resiliency and the power of knowing that you can set and achieve your own goals - but that you also need to listen to and empathize with others.
