Life Skills

Tenth and Eleventh Grade

For young people, life skills are the abilities that enable them to deal with the challenges of their lives in a manner that is adequate for their age and experience. They facilitate healthy, positive and productive personal development and enable meaningful contributions to society. These intra- and interpersonal abilities are interrelated, and collectively they provide a basis for identifying core skills. These skills can be applied to the self or to others. Central to this life skills framework is the need for young people to demonstrate moral and cognitive maturity by thinking for themselves and taking responsibility for their actions and their social and emotional development; life skills transcend the knowledge and abilities taught by others.
