Search Institute
Connecting Search Institute’s 40 Developmental Assets
with the ARISE Life-Skills Lessons
The Search institute conducted applied research and evaluation to determine the 40 assets young people need to be leaders, have knowledge of the world and the resources to be healthy and productive in their communities. ARISE has developed life-skills lessons that enable young people to live safely and become productive members of society. ARISE Life-Skills lessons help promote the 40 internal and external assets that Search Institute has developed.
Drawing on over 20 years of evidenced-based national and international experience, the ARISE Life-Skills Lessons and Staff Training provide interactive and engaging lessons for use in group settings. ARISE lessons foster discussion, debate, and personal expression on serious and useful topics such as resistance skills, conflict resolution, anger management, safety in a hostile world, and self-esteem, just to name a few.
The ARISE Life-Skills lessons satisfy many of the Search Institute’s Developmental Assets for early childhood, middle childhood and adolescents. We have provided below for your convenience a reference list of how specific ARISE materials reinforce the Search Institute’s 40 Developmental Assets. Guaranteed to be easy-to-teach and understand, you also have the unique opportunity to assemble your own ARISE life-skills library matched to the 40 Assets developed by Search Institute at a fraction of the normal retail price, allowing you to add structure to your program and save money too. We have compiled the Special Search Institute Development Adolescent Package for the discount price of $490 at the bottom of the page.
