Life Skills is a tool to
promote skills, knowledge and values about the self, the environment,
responsible citizenship, a healthy and productive life, social engagement,
recreation and physical activity and creative arts in all Intermediate Phase
learners in South Africa. Teaching Life Skills in the Intermediate
Phase focuses on how to encourage the optimal
emotional, physical, spiritual and mental development and wellbeing of
learners.
Teaching Life Skills in the Intermediate Phase aims to help teachers nurture learners whose self-esteem is matched by strong interpersonal skills and who have the ability to negotiate cultural diversity and practise a healthy lifestyle. Aligned with the South African Curriculum and Assessment Policy statements (CAPS), the book covers various topics concerning the holistic development of Intermediate Phase learners.
Contents include the following:
• Relationships
• Spiritual
development and beliefs
• Rights and
responsibilities
• Life and
decision-making skills
• Creative
arts
• Health
promotion
Teaching Life Skills in the Intermediate Phase is aimed at Life Skills educators in South African schools as well as at parents who find themselves in fascinating, albeit challenging, territory with the personal growth and development of their children.
