Description
In this 9-lesson self-paced class, teens will acquire practical and valuable life skills not typically taught in schools. These include financial literacy, job preparation, time management, smart consumer practices, living independently, and much more. Drawing from my experience in guiding my own children into adulthood, I created Adulting 101 to bridge the gap between academic learning and the practical skills essential for thriving in the adult world. This course provides an in-depth exploration of critical life areas such as budgeting and job application skills, preparing students for the various challenges and responsibilities of adult life.
***THIS IS A SELF-PACED CLASS***
Course Format
This course covers 9 lessons, offering a comprehensive, self-paced learning experience. Signing up for self-paced means that I won't personally be providing you feedback on your enrichment activities. If you are looking for that added feature, please choose the asynchronous class option instead.
