Summary/Assignment
  1. Read Case Study #1: Anzar High School (In Krovetz, M. Fostering resiliency. Corwin Press.

  2. Go to the following website: www.search-institute.org and click on 40 Assets in the left-hand column.

  3. Interview the three students who you wrote about today and check out your assumptions about them. Which of the 40 Assets does each student seem to have in place? Is there a pattern to which ones they do have and which they do not? What conclusions can you draw from any patterns you note? What can you and your school do to increase the number of assets that each of these three students has in her/his life?
