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.

asset-building approaches into promoting change that make a difference to both
the individual student as well as the school.
