As school districts become increasingly aware of the importance of social-emotional learning, Hope Rising has announced its hope-certified emotional intelligence curriculum, “My Best Me”, to support educators incorporate EI lesson plans into their courses.
The organization’s curriculum offers educators a fully-structured method for teaching students the psycho-social skills needed to improve their emotional intelligence and classroom etiquette. Educators can use “My Best Me” to complement their existing academic curriculum in one-hour blocks each week or tailor the program to fit their class schedule.

Following the announcement, Hope Rising wants to provide educators in public and private school environments with science-backed techniques for creating a respectful, positive dialogue between themselves and their students. Along with the curriculum, educators receive a teacher’s guide that includes an index with a material list, resource page, glossary, and more in-depth instructions on the company’s hope methodology.
Hope Rising’s curriculum comes to address results from recent statistics revealing that over half of the educators in the United States have reported feeling unsupported in their work, with one in four teachers considering resigning from the profession as a result. While many factors play into this issue, among them are the rate of class disruption and the immense need for disciplinary action, which cuts into learning time. Teachers often struggle to meet their educational goals because of unpredictable or even hostile classroom environments.
“My Best Me” has been developed to improve interpersonal skills for students and teachers alike, focusing on conflict resolution, communication skills, stress management, teamwork, and much more. Educators who use Hope Rising’s EI curriculum also get access to a private Facebook group where they can share ideas with other teachers, provide program feedback, and get additional training.
