Assets for All Ages
Since 1989, Search Institute has measured developmental assets in more than 1 million 6th to 12th graders in communities across the United States, using the survey Search Institute Profiles of Student Life: Attitudes and Behaviors. In addition, the institute has blended the literature on child development with the framework of assets for adolescents to identify parallel, developmentally appropriate sets of assets for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary-age children. The institute is launching new, long-term research efforts to refine, measure and test the asset frameworks for children of all ages. Drawn together, the five lists of age-specific assets offer a vision for a foundation of developmental assets through the first two decades of life.
