Successful Life Skills Curriculum: Single Parents and Homemakers. Facilitator's Guide.
Wayne County Intermediate School District, Detroit, MI.; Mid Michigan Community Coll., Harrison.
This guide is intended to aid service providers as they provide support services to single parents and displaced homemakers to help them achieve the goal of economic self-sufficiency. The handbook provides learning activities, divided into seven critical life skills areas. Activities are arranged in lesson plans that include objective area(s), materials needed, age group, reading level, time needed, purpose, a bibliography, and directions for facilitating the activity. Each activity includes materials that may be used as transparency masters or duplicated for handouts. The seven areas covered by the units are as follows: (1) self-awareness; (2) communication skills; (3) health and wellness; (4) resource management; (5) parenting; (6) relationships; and (7) personal power. Self-awareness is the heart of the curriculum and personal power is the overall goal of all the units. (KC)
