Building further on UNICEF’s definition of Life Skills, we have developed a comprehensive and exhaustive curriculum supplement that can be introduced across all classes from PP 1 to Class XII. These books, as part of our Life Skills 360 product, include over 40 well-researched aspects such as Awareness about Abuse, Peer Pressure, Competition at School, Time Management and such other important topics.
In the form of Story and Activity based content, these 40+ Life Skills are imparted to students and an incremental awareness is created amongst them. Each class book has no more than 10 skills for a given academic year making it easier for the students to grasp and develop on their newly acquired skills.
Life Skills 360 can be implemented within any School or College irrespective of the syllabus followed within the institute.
Teachers
Topics chosen within Life Skills 360 are hugely relevant and age-appropriate for students. Life Skills 360 is significant especially to the student community because these skills equip them in handling different types of challenging situations in day-to-day life and prepare them for the future.
The entire curriculum is designed to impart specific skills to specific age groups of students. Each of the students shall carry a copy of the book to the classroom and the teachers too shall have a separate edition to refer to before taking up a session. Each topic within the Teacher’s edition shall provide an introduction to the topic, a few opening questions to get the session going and other useful instructional material arranged in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
