Lesson Plans for Life
This Lesson Plans for Life component combines all components of the Education for Life Program and contains the first 6 months of lessons we intend to use on the property. Our highest priority is to support people (especially our youngest members) to grow as freethinking, amazing, creative, world-changing leaders. These educational plans incorporate all ages and represent (for those who desire this) a specific path to achieving scholarships, pre-college credit, advanced college placement, and/or direct entrance into emerging fields and careers.

LESSON PLANS FOR LIFE
The Lesson Plans for Life are weekly theme-based lesson plans purposed to teach all subjects, to all learning levels, within the context of the central theme. They can be used in any learning environment as stand-alone lessons or as part of the complete program. To make an even more comprehensive learning experience, combine the lesson plans with the Teaching Strategies for Life, Curriculum for Life, core curriculum (to meet national and state standards), and the 7 foundational open source subject resources:
NOTE: All lessons were designed with the goal of expanding creativity and critical thinking while also teaching all subjects. With this in mind, on everything other than the facts of each subject, the emphasis should be placed on enhancing imagination and expanding an individual’s capability to formulate an argument or rationale, rather than on the degree to which the instructor feels the answer/presentation/project is specifically correct or incorrect. What is more important is the reasoning, ability to defend that reasoning, and process used to create it.
