Curriculum Page
The Passport to Success curriculum manual is comprised of 60 modules within six units, which include Personal Competencies, Problem Solving and Managing Conflict, Healthy Behaviors, Effective Work Habits, Service Learning and a Closure unit. The curriculum is based on experiential instructional methods rather than traditional lecture-based styles of instruction. The program utilizes a combination of interactive learning strategies to engage different types of learners and put students in charge of their own learning. The life and employability skills lessons are designed to be taught in small group settings, such as community centers and schools, whereas the Service Learning component is intended to be planned and implemented in the school or community. The service learning projects provide an opportunity for participants to use and strengthen the skills and knowledge they develop during the life skills course, such as working in a team, solving problems, and respecting self and others, in real- life situations.
