Well, then, step right up—Transition 2 Life is the program for you.

Transition 2 Life is notanother academic class:you won’t learn Algebra orWorld History here.



What you will learn is how to do the things you need to doas an adult. Like, get yourdriver’s license, open a checking account or how to not act likea fool in front of your boss.

So, let’s look at the program.



Transition 2 Life (or T2L) has

seven modules. Your teacher

may choose to give you all modules

this year, or spread it over the

next several years.

However you do it, in the end,

you’ll have a resource book to

take with you. That book will

contain a map to navigate adult

life.

Adulthood

Lucky You!Lucky You!The great thing about T2L is that (mostly) there are no wrong answers.

This is about you. You are deciding who you want to be, if you want to continue in school, and how you want to live.

The grading system doesn’t grade the answer—it grades the process. Find out what kind of learner you are—get points. Explore what you’d like to be when you grow up—get points. Practice writing a check—get points.

It’s that easy. Take a look.

In the EndIn the End

You’ll walk away with a notebook that will guide you as you start your flight into grown-up life.

Depending on your situation, your teacher may decide to have you complete the program quickly, or spread it out over several years. You may also want to do one unit a couple of times in different years as your hopes for the future change.



Keep each unit safe so it can be added to your notebook. Unlike some classes, where you can’t throw the work away fast enough, you’ll NEED this stuff. So keep it.

And remember: garbage in—garbage out. This is your chance to really explore what you want to do for the rest of your life. Use the chance to form a plan that works for you.

And then, with a plan in hand, we wish you

a great flight into adulthood.
