In response to heightened concerns for elementary school students’ mental and emotional health, Hope Rising has announced its emotional intelligence curriculum that teaches students life and learning strategies to foster hope.
The newly introduced emotional intelligence curriculum, “My Best Me”, teaches elementary students what it means to be hopeful and how hope can improve their classroom and life experience. The elementary-level program shows students how to effectively set goals, and how to create actionable pathways and build the willpower needed to achieve those goals.

With its new curriculum, Hope Rising seeks to help create healthy communities within elementary school classrooms where students encourage and support one another and engage in respectful, open communication with their teachers. “My Best Me” uses scientific research on the power of hope and centers it around these five essential aspects of life: identity, health, community, environment, and economics.
Elementary school students often struggle to consistently manage their emotions in class, especially when they have gone through one or multiple adverse childhood experiences. Mismanaged emotions can lead to conflicts or fighting amongst classmates, disrespectful interactions with teachers, and other classroom disruptions that take away from learning time.
“My Best Me” teaches students how to develop and maintain habits that will support their physical, mental, and emotional health. By empowering students to take care of themselves and be accountable for their actions, the EI curriculum builds a foundation of personal power and positivity in students.
The importance of a healthy community is another concept highlighted in “My Best Me”. As such, it helps students learn how to understand their own identity and the essential part they play in creating a strong, collaborative community in the classroom and beyond.
