Description
The Life Skills Curriculum is a website that includes links to facilitator guides, worksheets, games, slide decks, and sample materials. Topics include career, education, health and nutrition, money management, housing, and risk prevention.
Recommendations
The strengths of this resource are:
- the broad overviews of important information about survival skills
- clear, easy-to-use slide decks, Leaders’ Guides, and games
- adaptability to a range of (dis)abilities and identities
Users should note that:
- the resource is not research-based
- the resource only prepares youth for basic challenges
- the resource includes outdated materials about career options
We think these things could help:
- the resource could be updated with current, research-backed information
- the resource could be translated into additional languages
- the resource could be made more accessible to screen readers
