Norman, United States - April 9, 2023 /PressCable/ —

The company anticipates that this expansion will allow more K-12 classrooms to adopt its comprehensive emotional intelligence curriculum, "My Best Me", which teaches essential psycho-social skills for optimum academic performance. This EI curriculum is based on evidence and scientific research which has proven that hope is one of the strongest indicators for positive life outcomes and heightened learning capacity.

With this expansion, Hope Rising offers an EI curriculum that has generated demonstrable results, including decreased rates of dropouts, chronic absenteeism, and truancy. Educators using this curriculum have also reported improved grades, better attendance, and higher graduation rates for their students. Through interactive, grade-appropriate lessons, "My Best Me" encourages students' collaboration, engagement, participation, and open communication with their classmates and teachers.

Issues like truancy, difficulty focusing in class or comprehending learning materials, and causing regular class disruptions or conflicts with other students, can often be signs of a student struggling emotionally. Anxiety, depression, and stress are common issues for adolescents, especially those who have experienced trauma. Learning how to regulate their stress and emotions can help students to be more present and active in the classroom.

"My Best Me" teaches students practical skills for maintaining their emotional, mental, and physical well-being. With this curriculum, students practice expressing themselves through collaborative exercises and creative activities, giving them dedicated time to reflect on their emotional state. "My Best Me" also teaches students how to set and achieve goals based on their individual strengths with a simple three-step process: set a goal, create a pathway, and build the inner willpower to succeed.

Hamilton sets sights on racing in African grand prix

AUSTIN, United States — Lewis Hamilton on Thursday welcomed Formula One’s  decision to return to Africa, but revealed reservations over the choice of Rwanda to host the continent’s first Grand Prix in more than three decades. The seven-time world champion also said he wanted to stay in F1 racing into his forties to make sure he can fulfil his dream of racing in an African Grand Prix. Speaking to reporters ahead of this weekend’s United States Grand Prix, the Ferrari driver said he was aware of concerns regarding Rwanda and said they should not be overlooked. "Of course, I don’t get to choose where we go and, naturally, there’s problems all over the world today,” he said. “I’ve seen many of the stories, but I think we really have to approach it with humility.” Formula One announced a 10-year agreement to race in Rwanda last week with the race set to join the calendar after a circuit has been built in the early 2030s. The last time an F1 race was held in Africa was the 33rd South African Grand Prix near Johannesburg in 1993 when Hamilton was just eight years old. "There’s a lot that we don’t know,” added Hamilton who has called for a return to Africa for many years. “Growing up in England, they never taught us anything about Africa. It needs to be on the curriculum… "A lot of the problems they have there are still the results of colonialism and the west intervening, but if you see the people, you see so many designs that are out there today. Top brands come from Africa, and it’s got all the richest resources. "I really hope, and I still have hopes, that Africa unites. I know there’s many people that don’t want that to happen -- because they would be so powerful if they did, but I’m still hopeful that at some stage they will. "And, of course, going doesn’t mean that you neglect the things that are happening there. "So hopefully many people start to educate themselves a little more about what is happening, what has happened for hundreds of years and I hope that does spark the conversation.” Hamilton, who warmly praised runaway championship leader Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes as he sat alongside him at a news conference, revealed also that he hopes to continue racing into his mid-forties. "I’m looking forward to racing with him longer. I mean, I’m now forced to have to stay a lot longer because we have a race in Africa -- and that’s been my dream, to be able to race in Africa.” "So, you’ve got time,” said the 20-year-old Italian. “You’ve got to do at least the first one.” "Yeah,” replied Hamilton. “I have to keep fighting to try and stay fit if I can. If I can still punch out good results over the next year, we’ll keep it going.”
