With this announcement, Hope Rising offers K-12 students a structured program for learning the essential psycho-social skills they need to thrive in the classroom and beyond. “My Best Me” fosters hope in students by teaching them this simple three-step method: set a positive goal based on individual strengths, create an actionable pathway to that goal, and build the willpower needed to achieve it.

Chronic absenteeism has a clear and direct negative impact on grades, classroom performance, and comprehension. Students who regularly miss class are often struggling with emotional turmoil, including stress, anxiety, or depression, possibly resulting from a traumatic experience. Hope is one of the strongest indicators for positive life outcomes and achievement, and has been proven to help regulate stress and negative emotions.

“My Best Me” uses the science of hope to build resilience and enthusiasm in students. The program applies its effective three-step goal-achieving method to its five core concepts: identity, health, community, environment, and economics.

Students begin by reflecting on their identities, personalities, and character strengths, which boosts confidence and improves their ability to have consistently healthy interactions in the classroom. “My Best Me” also teaches students the importance of community and relationships through collaborative group activities. By building healthy classroom communities, “My Best Me” has resulted in 68% fewer suspensions and expulsions and 81% fewer dropouts in addition to its positive impact on absenteeism.
