The 2-part student workbook for mainstreamed learning and mentally disabled high school students contains 12 units intended to provide supplementary instruction in the Contemporary Parenting Choices Curriculum in the home economics class. This unit, the fourth in the Child Care part of the workbook, focuses on understanding tasks of teenagers and includes individual lessons on how a teenager becomes independent from the family, how teenagers develop a sense of identity, and how teenagers can use the decision making process to choose a career. Each lesson typically provides lesson objectives, definitions of key vocabulary terms, workbook activities, a brief discussion of the topic, and a review activity. The material is intended to be used with the special Teachers Guide and the other components of the Contemporary Parenting Choices Curriculum. (DB)
