#Resiliencechat Q1 As you reflect on your learning, when and how did you acquire #softskills? (self-motivation, leadership, responsibility)

A1: I feel developed most of those when I was in the Boy Scouts. A lot of those things challenged me. School didn't really #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Feb 20 @ 10:13 PM EST

A1 I think I became self-motivated at a relatively young age. I always picked out books about things I wanted to learn. #resiliencechat

MrsAlrutz Feb 20 @ 10:13 PM EST

I acquired my #softskills by watching role models in my life, including many of my former teachers #resiliencechat

#Resiliencechat Q2 In what ways do our educational institutions / classrooms play a role in teaching #softskills?

MissShuganah Feb 20 @ 10:20 PM EST

At least some of has to come internally. But always good to have mentors. #resiliencechat

Absolutely. We can't control what goes on outside of school but we definitely can make a difference that day #resiliencechat

Words on walls are just window dressing. We need to explain, examples, reinforce daily, celebrate, honor, recognize. #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Feb 20 @ 10:43 PM EST

A5 Compassion. Understanding the Other. #resiliencechat

PeytonWydickRU Feb 20 @ 10:43 PM EST

A4) Tolerance and acceptance. You can be polite enough for your momma but disrespect mommas and kids who aren't like you. #resiliencechat

#Resiliencechat Q4 Many of our schools focus on #character development – the question is, is that enough? What more is there?

Cheated - based on this, I'd start with communication and teamwork. #resiliencechat https://t.co/AsQaD6rvdX

I concur! Some comes naturally, yet, we must add words to it, and meaning for students. The littlest ones can get it! #resiliencechat

A5) Self-reflection, from an early age. Once they understand themselves, they learn to recognize privilege, honor, strength. #resiliencechat

#Resiliencechat Q6 What holds us back from making it a priority to teach children to #softskills through #coaching, #mentoring, or are we?

Watermelonworks Feb 20 @ 10:51 PM EST

Absolutely. I would call it learning in action. you still have to decode if it is good info or not. #resiliencechat

Both are important. Decency... is still needed, perhaps desperately. #resiliencechat

Bhsteeler Feb 20 @ 10:39 PM EST

A4: being decent is the focus of char develop, but servant leadership focus means helping those unable to help themselves #resiliencechat 👍

MissShuganah Feb 20 @ 10:52 PM EST

A6 I think back when I was growing up no one thought that was important. #resiliencechat

Watermelonworks Feb 20 @ 10:52 PM EST

A6: TIME. It's a commitment to start that journey. Sometimes it takes a lot of time to walk the path. #resiliencechat

What a fantastic group tonight at #Resiliencechat An honor to be with you all! A couple more questions coming.

MrsAlrutz Feb 20 @ 10:52 PM EST

Really enjoyed learning about the importance of #softskills in the #resiliencechat tonight! #LUlearns

techietwinmom Feb 20 @ 10:53 PM EST

A6. I'll say it again. We expect SO MUCH from our teachers - from standards to catching kids up to good health. It's hard! #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Feb 20 @ 10:53 PM EST

A6 I think my teachers were either watching the clock until retirement or too busy earning a living. #resiliencechat

Bhsteeler Feb 20 @ 10:54 PM EST

A6:younger grades focused on key skills of literacy, older grades on complexity of content, expect character from the home 🏡 #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Feb 20 @ 10:54 PM EST

A6 We also weren't that culturally diverse. As a religious minority I was aware especially in 1968. #resiliencechat

ResiliencyGuy - Moderator Feb 20 @ 10:54 PM EST

#Resiliencechat Q7 How can we provide #information #support #feedback #Clarity #coaching to our students about #sofskills & feel great?
