Lifelong
Guidelines & Lifeskills (Developed by Susan Kovalik) |
| The Lifeskills and the Lifelong Guidelines are what
some schools would refer to as "school rules". The students review
the Lifelong Guidelines at the beginning of each school day. The
Lifelong Guidelines and Lifeskills are used throughout the school,
in the lunchroom, and on the playground. Each week one of the
Lifeskills is designated as the "Lifeskill of the Week". During the
morning announcements the Lifeskill selected is announced and
explained. However, teachers may choose to teach the Lifeskills in a
sequence that best integrates into their curriculum. |
