Going Beyond the Curriculum: Incorporating Life Skills in the Classroom

Advertisement

By Dr. Yuvraj Verma

As an educator, my classroom isn’t just a space for reciting facts and figures or mastering formulas and punctuation. It’s a dynamic environment where learning extends far beyond the curriculum. Yes, there are always plenty of objectives that need to be met and content that needs to be covered; however, I also believe in the importance of weaving in topics that aren’t explicitly taught through standard academic subjects, but are necessary for something even more important: life.

In my approach to teaching, I’ve adopted a method that involves meticulous planning, using the curriculum as my foundation. I start by thoroughly examining the academic material and identifying key concepts, objectives, standards, and skills that need to be addressed. Once I have a clear understanding of the lesson, I strategically design supplementary teachings that incorporate relevant life skills. In this way, I create a comprehensive learning experience that goes beyond mere rote learning and memorization.
