Youth in Transition classroom curriculum

E1MN has created curriculum for educators to use with students in the classroom to help support the learning expectations of Minnesota's Youth in Transition Framework.

These lesson plans give educators a guide to help students see and plan for what life after high school might look like.

Through the lessons students can start envisioning for themselves: 

  • what they want and how they can live their best life,
  • what living in(ter)dependently could look like for them,
  • what they want for meaningful employment, and
  • what postsecondary education or training program they might want to do.

Each 20-25 minute lesson plan uses videos, discussion questions, real-life stories, tools, and activities to create an interactive and engaging learning experience for students.

The Youth in Transition classroom curriculum includes:


Best Life: Building Awareness curriculum
These lessons can help students build their knowledge and awareness of what their best life means to them, and learn more about tools they can use to plan for and reach their best life.
