Positive youth
development is not a program or curriculum. It's
not a one-time community service project. It's a way of life. It's a way
of interacting with people young and old. It's a movement to change how
people behave.
Whether you're a principal
or teacher infusing a strength-based approach to student development or
a parent group re-connecting with youth, our introductory level training
sessions provide a practical application of the asset framework developed
by Search Institute.
Introduce the Assets
Framework to Your School
Designed for teams of school administrators, teachers, and support staff—or
for entire school staffs—this training focuses on the links between
academic achievement and the 40 developmental assets. An overview of the
asset framework and a series of hands-on activities will help staff to
identify and expand existing asset-building efforts, and to work together
to create others.
Training topics include:
• Assets and academic achievement
• Keys to effective asset building
• Steps to creating an asset-building school
• Increasing parent engagement with the asset framework
Training materials for each participant are included.
Empower Parent
Groups
Assets for Colorado Youth has presented the asset framework to thousands
of parents over the past four years in a variety of settings—child
care centers, PTA meetings, Back-to-School nights, community colleges,
and community meetings. The asset training for parents is customized for
diverse audiences large or small and helps parents to:
• Understand the 40 developmental asset framework
• Identify the ways in which they already build assets in their children
• Learn the key principles of asset building
• Commit to becoming more intentional about asset building
• View the asset framework as a springboard for becoming engaged
in their children’s education at school and in the community
Mobilize Your Community
to Build Assets
Designed for broad-based community groups, this training introduces the
40 developmental assets as a unifying philosophy that gives all community
members a role in helping young people to succeed. Participants will learn
about the asset framework through hands-on activities and a celebration
of asset building already happening around them. The training will connect
participants to appropriate resources and asset-building champions, and
will include a discussion of “next steps” for groups wanting
to mobilize around asset building and positive youth development.
