Hope Rising (405-676-4140) has announced its updated SEL curriculum for the new school year, suitable for in-class and distance learning formats.
—
The organization has updated its ‘My Best Me’ Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum for students of all grade levels to better reflect kids’ post-pandemic concerns, anxieties, and behavioral triggers. The course of study, intended for one hour per week, helps children navigate emotional difficulties in an open, safe, and respectful learning environment.

Hope Rising has now made its lesson plans, which are replete with multimedia options, available in both digital and hard-copy formats. Since SEL acknowledges and focuses attention on students’ pain points, it has proven effective in reducing misbehavior – and improving overall class performance. In fact, 93% of teachers surveyed want SEL to be given more attention in schools because they are aware of the positive effects it has on children’s academic performance, classroom behavior, and school-related attitudes.
SEL is fundamentally the process by which all children and adults learn and apply the knowledge, abilities, and values necessary to forge positive identities, control emotions, and accomplish individual and group objectives. It also encourages individuals to feel and express empathy for others, build and sustain supportive relationships, and make caring decisions. With the help of SEL, schools can better collaborate with families and community partners to establish common priorities and align practices between diverse settings where students live and learn.
The lesson modules contained in Hope Rising’s curriculum are enriched by the science of hope, an evidence-backed field of research that demonstrates how individuals who have experienced trauma can ‘bounce back’ and thrive.
The five pillars of SEL embraced by Hope Rising’s curriculum include self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. Self-awareness is the cornerstone, without which the other skills cannot be learned, and requires having the capacity to identify one’s feelings, thoughts, and how they affect behavior.
The ability to regulate one’s behavior in pursuit of certain individual goals is set in the context of the wider social network – where an individual’s aspirations can be informed and facilitated by constructive participation in the community. The ability to listen, empathize, and ‘put oneself in the other person’s shoes’ is considered key to building a strong character and strengthening students’ identities.
