The introductory sections of the guide contain the following information: recommendations from the pilot test teachers, rationale, course description, goals, justification for including the course in general education, home economics as a unique context for life management, topics and objectives for life management, and a course outline. The remainder of the guide contains the life management curriculum, organized in 16 lessons that cover the following topics: introduction to life management, values and standards, goals, cultural forces, impact of change--future trends, decision making, time management, personal energy management, motivating, delegating, communicating, conflict management, stress management and coping, multiple roles, human growth potential, and other current issues in life management. Each lesson includes objectives and rationale, lesson content, activities, and suggested resources. Information on evaluating the curriculum and a rating scale for the life management curriculum complete the guide. (KC)
