This module is directed toward the time in students' lives when they move away from home. That move is one large step toward independence. However, the transition can be reasonably smooth if students have developed some skills in the areas of housing, transportation, leisure, and balancing income and expenses . "This module had the highest level of interest by the students," claimed a group of pilot teachers. Another group added, "This module fills a real void in students' knowledge." The concept of consumerism is introduced as a strand in Mathematics 10 and is further developed in the Money Management module of Life Transitions 30. The specific skills involved in paying monthly expenses are addressed in this Independent Living module. |
