Where Does Our Data Come From?• Our school currently uses the PRIDE SURVEY

• The Pride Survey is conducted every two years

• We currently have data from 01/2002 – 01/2012 to compare and show change

• We also have two years of the Attitude and Behavior Survey for grades 6th, 7th

and 8th

Attitude and Behavior Survey

• The Developmental Asset framework covers extensive territory, including experiences of young people and commitments, values, skills and identity.

• Search Institute’s research consistently shows that youth with higher level of Developmental Assets are involved in fewer risk-taking behaviors and experience higher levels of thriving indicators.

40 Developmental Assets

The Search Institute has identified 40 Developmental Assets that protect youth from substance abuse.

Some assets are internal and others are external.

We, as adults, parents, and friends can provide some of these for youth.

6 Asset Based Principles

1. Strengths more than risks

2. Relationships more than programs

3. All adults and youth, not just professionals and parents

6 Asset Based Principles

4. Engagement more than services

5. Unleashing, not controlling or directing

6. Long term, not a quick fix

This can best be demonstrated through a

simple hands-on illustration

high or bombed when using marijuana.
