Student Training
When working in this program, older students (coaches) will be trained during an interactive workshop with a RISING UP trainer. This 2-hour session will teach students the importance of “coaching” younger students to a better understanding of themselves and the world around them. Coaches will then go into classrooms and teach specific curriculum modules to the younger students. Easily modified or expanded, the curriculum is ideal for 8th graders to work with 6th graders, or for juniors to work with freshman and can be customized to fit your SEL planning needs.
Staff Training
The RISING UP: Trainer Certification Course is ideal for schools, districts, or organizations that want to implement our SEL curriculum on a wider level. Led by RISING UP founder, JC Pohl, LMFT, staff members can become a certified trainer for the RISING UP: Coaching Program. This interactive workshop will teach all attendees the importance of peer-to-peer programming and the philosophy behind RISING UP’s SEL curriculum. The training also includes an overview of the program, a hands-on explanation of the modules, and an in-depth guide into how to build resilient students.
SEL Curriculum
Aligned with the ASCA Professional School Counseling Model, RISING UP’s SEL curriculum has been developed to help school counselors increase their campus wide reach. When working in this program, older students (coaches) will “coach” younger students to better understand themselves and the world in which they are living. Our SEL curriculum can last from ten weeks to ten months while a team of 25-50 coaches reaches out to more than 1,000 students. All coaching sessions can be completed during in-class guidance sessions, advisory periods, special meetings, after-school/lunch time activities, or special workshop events. Coaches are given specific lesson plans to coach students through. These modules include topics on:
– Building Relationships & Understanding Self –
– Overcoming Adversity & Building Resilience –
– Choices & Consequences –
– Career & Family Exploration –
– Decision Making & Goal Setting –
During each SEL module coaches work with students to better understand themselves and their connection to the school community. Through this strengthening of self and better understanding of community, the RISING UP: Coaching Program strengthens a school’s population from the inside out.
