Welcome to the New Overcoming Obstacles Website!

Posted: April 22, 2021

As you may have realized, we recently made big changes to the look of our website. And while most of the changes are visual, there is one very important update that we wanted to highlight: our core curriculum can now be downloaded in its entirety directly from our website for free, without the need to register! That means you can download, print, and share every lesson and every activity from our Elementary, Middle, and High School Curriculum without having to provide any personal information about yourself. Click here to try it out!

If you would like to download any of our additional materials—such as our standards alignments, training guides, parent resources, and supplemental handbooks—then our free online platform “My Overcoming Obstacles” is for you! Simply fill out the form at this link and you’ll gain instant access to all of these resources and more.

Over the next few weeks, we are preparing to launch a new, innovative feature to the “My Overcoming Obstacles” platform that will give you the tools to truly make the curriculum your own through our upcoming lesson editing feature. When it launches, you will be able to modify our entire suite of life skills lessons—down to every word! We’re excited to have you experience what we have been working on, so please stay tuned for more information, including when you will be able to start using it.

Overcoming Obstacles is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 1992, and our mission has always been to provide educators with the tools to teach their students life skills. So, we’re making it as easy as possible to access our lessons—no hooks, no catches, just a nonprofit organization helping educators do their important work. If there are any other ways we can be helpful to you—training, support, or more—please do not hesitate to contact us.
