Developmental Assets: The Power of One, the Power of Many

This professional learning opportunity is based on the Developmental Assets Framework, which identifies 40 internal and external factors that protect against risks and promote growth and learning for young people. Some of those assets are the relationships and opportunities that exist in families, schools, and communities (external assets). Other assets are social-emotional strengths, values, and commitments that are nurtured within young people (internal assets).
