Asset Building in Education

Why Build Assets in Education

Educators have found that building assets connects well with five areas of schooling in which they are already working: curriculum and instruction, school organization, co-curricular activities, community partnerships and support services. In addition, early research evidence points to the fact that building assets contributes to academic achievement.

Transforming Education through Asset-Building

Educational change models reinforce the fact the shifting perspective and practice takes time and that changing schools begins with awakening individual educators to new possibilities. Asset-building educators find ways of incorporating asset-building approaches into promoting change that make a difference to both the individual student as well as the school.
