Hi, We are RISE of New Mexico.
RESILIENCE IS ESSENTIAL to Inspire and Self-Empower Children and Adults.
RISE (Resilience. Inspire. Self-Empower) is a free innovative online SEL (Social Emotional Learning) platform available to everyone where we teach hard work and an uncompromising standard of excellence results in a genuine sense of achievement and self-respect that will carry over into all aspects of our lives.
RISE is free, user friendly, and can easily be used by teachers for an advisory period, after school programs, or to supplement current curriculum. RISE can be displayed on Promethean Boards or self directed by students on their Chrome Books making resilience practices easy, efficient, and effective.
The 22 Practices are written in a user friendly format for ease of instruction or self direction.
Our new online programs teach resilience skills such as toughness, grit, endurance, and 'Ol fashioned' mental fortitude. Too many of our students are at risk of failing in New Mexico because they give up, they lose their way. With RISE, student's learn the ultimate goal is "better" in everything and we orient them to always follow this direction as sailors in the past used the North Star. Ancient philosophies to current scientific studies give ONE reason as the answer to success : RESILIENCE.
Let's give our students the tools to set them up for success in school and life.
Empower the Future. Join the Movement. Support us in teaching Resilience to NM students... skills which essential but unfortunately not taught in many traditional classrooms.

A bilingual learning facilitator with 20 years of experience, Stacey teaches children how to trust themselves through inquiry-based and experiential learning and navigate the skill base of the Common Core.
She states: As a Golden Apple Teacher of Distinction I feel it’s important to impart the understanding that students are the essential designers of their own learning and that they can articulate their ideas to their peers and to me. This articulation can be a suggestion for a novel or an entire science unit. Student learning has many shapes, and I facilitate the process of students creating their unique individual shapes.
I am a 2002 graduate of Chapman University Credential Program and a 1992 graduate of CSU Chico with a BA in Spanish. Currently I am a Project Lead the Way Lead Teacher and a member of the FCUSD Stem Leadership Team. STEM education is a very effective tool to deliver the above-mentioned skills and help create the leaders of tomorrow.
