Science-driven curriculum developer Hope Rising has expanded its programming to offer a hope-centered emotional intelligence curriculum that can improve academic performance for K-12 students.
The company anticipates that this expansion will allow more K-12 classrooms to adopt its comprehensive emotional intelligence curriculum, “My Best Me”, which teaches essential psycho-social skills for optimum academic performance. This EI curriculum is based on evidence and scientific research which has proven that hope is one of the strongest indicators for positive life outcomes and heightened learning capacity.

With this expansion, Hope Rising offers an EI curriculum that has generated demonstrable results, including decreased rates of dropouts, chronic absenteeism, and truancy. Educators using this curriculum have also reported improved grades, better attendance, and higher graduation rates for their students. Through interactive, grade-appropriate lessons, “My Best Me” encourages students’ collaboration, engagement, participation, and open communication with their classmates and teachers.
Issues like truancy, difficulty focusing in class or comprehending learning materials, and causing regular class disruptions or conflicts with other students, can often be signs of a student struggling emotionally. Anxiety, depression, and stress are common issues for adolescents, especially those who have experienced trauma. Learning how to regulate their stress and emotions can help students to be more present and active in the classroom.
“My Best Me” teaches students practical skills for maintaining their emotional, mental, and physical well-being. With this curriculum, students practice expressing themselves through collaborative exercises and creative activities, giving them dedicated time to reflect on their emotional state. “My Best Me” also teaches students how to set and achieve goals based on their individual strengths with a simple three-step process: set a goal, create a pathway, and build the inner willpower to succeed.
