NOTE: DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, FALL 2020 COURSES WILL BE HELD ON ZOOM
Curriculum:
- Critical thinking, so they can evaluate new information
- Emotional intelligence so they can understand themselves and others, and make wise choices in life. (Developed with input from a psychiatrist.)
- Personal finance and financial literacy - how to budget, use credit, use insurance etc
- Household maintenance - clean, ironing and other household tasks
- Media literacy, so they can make objective decisions about advertisements etc.
- Time Management and Organization
- Methods of dealing with stress
- Health and Exercise
- Rights of US citizens under the Constitution; how the government works
Many of these subjects have no right or wrong answer; we will be introducing ideas and will be discussing them with the students, getting them to at least start thinking about them as a first step to coming to their own conclusions.
Please also look at the curriculum for our other course Adulting Skills 102; we strongly encourage students to register for both classes, as they both teach vital skills. You can register for both on the same form, and there is a discount for doing so.
