school year. The purpose of these documents is that it gives you a detailed guideline
of what exactly needs to be covered in Life Skills. By having a proper lesson and
year plan, the educator is more likely to achieve what needs to be done in

to cover for certain topics of life skills. This document also gives the direction of
activities, topics and assessments that need to be covered for that year. (Provides
