Breaking News: The ARISE Curricula Shines Brighter After Recent Makeover
The ARISE library of life-management skills has undergone a complete makeover from the ground up, increasing the size of each volume by at least fifteen percent without affecting the price. The ARISE curriculum is written for those who work with aggressive, academically, motivationally and emotionally challenged youth. Here are some of the exciting changes, meant to lock in learners with attention problems and provide facilitators with everything they need to bring out their own creativity and positively engage the youth in their ARISE group sessions.
ARISE True Life Tales
Everyone loves a good story. The ARISE True Life Tales are short stories that relate to the content of the book they’re in. The tales may be short, but don’t let their length fool you. Each one grips the reader’s attention quickly and swoops in under the radar with an important life lesson disguised as an interesting story. Every ARISE True Life Tale is written specifically for teens with limited reading ability. Each is designed for “jump reading,” which is a way for a group of people to read a story together. Each person reads a paragraph until the story is complete. Jump reading is a great way to involve the learners in the story. Youth will not get frustrated stumbling over long, difficult-to-pronounce words. Assuring that the stories are accessible and appealing to learners is just one ingredient in the ARISE recipe for success. Learners will become absorbed with the stories and eager to know what happens next.
ARISE Inspirational Biographies
We all learn best by example. The ARISE Inspirational Biographies feature people who have risen above adversity to succeed. Incarcerated and troubled teens often feel that their background and the mistakes they’ve made have set them up to fail. The ARISE Inspirational Biographies seek to change that mindset. Each inspirational person was chosen because he or she conquered difficult circumstances and made the best out of life. Some are famous; others are ordinary people who have accomplished extraordinary things. The ARISE Inspirational Biographies show learners that just about anything is possible if you give it all you have.
Photos
No one wants to stare at pages and pages of nothing but text. To enhance the lessons and make each book even more visually appealing for both learners and facilitators, ARISE has added hundreds of meaningful, attention-grabbing photographs to the new versions. The photos are conversation starters, and many provide true-to-life examples of the concepts illustrated in the lessons, from the elderly man dying from emphysema in Substance Abuse and Guns to the ecstatic high school graduate in So You’re Thinking of Staying in School.
ARISE Provides The Latest Information and Statistics
Each updated volume of the ARISE curriculum features the latest statistics and information. ARISE understands that providing accurate resources, such as hotline and agency phone numbers, is critically important. Learners may need that information once their group workshops are over and they are in the “real world.” ARISE assures that each phone number, website and statistic is accurate and up-to-date.
The Complete ARISE Library Is Now Available as E-Books
Along with the update of the ARISE material comes the ability to easily download the books ONLY on the new ARISE website (www.at-riskyouth.org) in our digital store. Downloading an e-book means you get the book faster without having to pay for shipping. Not only are e-books convenient, but they are also priced 50% less than the beautifully bound, rugged hard copies. The ARISE Facts of Life series is one of the products newly available for download. The Facts of Life Series is a set of 30 short books featuring titles such as “A Day in the Life of a Teenage Mom,” “20 Tips for Dealing with Depression,” and “The Bully Book.” These books may be small, but they pack a big punch. Each is filled with valuable information, insightful quotes and tips. The Facts of Life series is available as three packages: the full library featuring all 30 books or two sets with 15 books in each. The Facts of Life series is meant to complement and enhance the ARISE curriculum.
