Essentials 4 Your Life offers several program options that will help students improve in school and in every area of their life. Essentials 4 Your Life is a solution for both middle schools and high schools looking for an enriching program to be taught during school, after school or in summer school. The curriculum is designed to meet the needs of different age ranges with age appropriate materials. Each school can incorporate the curriculum to fit their individual needs and schedule.
We recommend the program to be taught by the schools certified teachers or coaches. We thoroughly train each instructor providing them with extensive teacher lesson plans and PowerPoint presentations to help students master the essential life skills needed for overall self-improvement. Our comprehensive program includes everything from staffing, instructor training, curriculum and workbooks that promote more parental involvement.
It is very important that students honor and respect themselves and their peers. We have a ‘No Name/Third Person Policy’. We ask students to refer to people in third person, including themselves when sharing with the class. They can say, I have this friend, or I know this person this happened to. This helps protect people’s identity when sharing personal stories. All students need to bring to class is paper and a pen, Essentials 4 Your Life will provide everything else.
Students are motivated to communicate more effectively with parents and peers, to pay it forward and give back. They are rewarded throughout the entire program with “Essential Bucks” for classroom participation, parent/mentor involvement, giving back their time and efforts to the community, paying it forward and much more. Upon graduating from the Essentials 4 Your Life program, students will cash in their “Essential Bucks” for prizes like Essentials 4 Your Life journals, fashionable apparel and trendy jewelry.
Essentials 4 Your Life is the ‘must do’ program for the 21st century. We want this program to reach as many students as possible so they can be committed to being their very best.
