Q1 adaptability whether with different cultures or with different skill sets for jobs #reflectiveteacher

nironside13 Jan 26 @ 7:11 PM EST

@suepetersen17 yes - I like that you include adaptability with culture & not just with tasks or thinking! #reflectiveteacher

MsJWhiting Jan 26 @ 7:11 PM EST

Discussing Rousseau today with gr.10 AmGov S's... he was all about the soft skills, S's were intrigued #reflectiveteacher

@MsJWhiting awesome - would have loved to have been a fly on your wall for that discussion #reflectiveteacher

nironside13 Jan 26 @ 7:13 PM EST

@amsgatorpride YES!!! In all things! #reflectiveteacher

MsJWhiting Jan 26 @ 7:14 PM EST

Soft skills demonstrated thru consistent action; hard to measure in standardized way but key to progress at all stages #reflectiveteacher

mmorriswrite Jan 26 @ 7:14 PM EST

Soft skills in the classroom transcend any content area and any grade level too. Start young and continue to develop. #reflectiveteacher

nironside13 Jan 26 @ 7:16 PM EST

Q2: How can educators communicate the importance of soft skill development to Ss and their families? #reflectiveteacher

nironside13 Jan 26 @ 7:16 PM EST

Couldn't agree more! #reflectiveteacher https://t.co/l8mLePMTTs

@nironside13 i think it is nice to have a sense of humor #reflectiveteacher

nironside13 Jan 26 @ 7:18 PM EST

@suepetersen17 you are so right - having a good sense of humor allows humans to connect easily! #reflectiveteacher

jdepler2 Jan 26 @ 7:18 PM EST

@suepetersen17 @nironside13 You can get more buy in from Ss with humor. Plus it humanizes us. Great point! #reflectiveteacher

nironside13 Jan 26 @ 7:19 PM EST

Q2: How can educators communicate the importance of soft skill development to Ss and families? #reflectiveteacher https://t.co/ufsdIwNHNm

MsJWhiting Jan 26 @ 7:20 PM EST

A2: soft skills must be in feedback loop, how well did you listen? who showed integrity? better than participation grade #reflectiveteacher

amsgatorpride Jan 26 @ 7:20 PM EST

A2: Measure it; progress reports/report cards; open dialogue. Here's our Habits of Success #reflectiveteacher https://t.co/8elgXSq9Ji

mmorriswrite Jan 26 @ 7:20 PM EST

#reflectiveteacher A2: The people with the soft skills are the ones we trust and we turn to over others, even when all else is equal.

jdepler2 Jan 26 @ 7:21 PM EST

A2: At the beginning of the year, explain to parents the culture of your room. Ask parents to view soft skills in action. #reflectiveteacher

nironside13 Jan 26 @ 7:21 PM EST

@amsgatorpride great rubric! Thanks for sharing! #reflectiveteacher

mmorriswrite Jan 26 @ 7:21 PM EST

@MsJWhiting A genuine appreciation for how the S contributes to the class culture is very valuable feedback! #reflectiveteacher

MsJWhiting Jan 26 @ 7:21 PM EST

Idea: ask my AmGov S's to create soft skills rubric for evaluating Presidential Candidates #reflectiveteacher #hsgovchat #sschat

@jdepler2 love the idea of getting parents to be part of the team! #reflectiveteacher

amsgatorpride Jan 26 @ 7:22 PM EST

@nironside13 Proponents and advocates of #SEL must share best practices #samegoal #reflectiveteacher

jdepler2 Jan 26 @ 7:22 PM EST

A2: As the year continues, invite parents to presentations etc. where Ss are using soft skills. #reflectiveteacher

MsJWhiting Jan 26 @ 7:23 PM EST

@mmorriswrite Yes! These skills I emphasize in college letters, what can't be seen on the transcript and matters as much #reflectiveteacher

suepetersen17 Jan 26 @ 7:23 PM EST

2 there are plenty of articles out there that say employers are looking for aplicants with soft skills. #reflectiveteacher

nironside13 Jan 26 @ 7:23 PM EST

Q3: How can Ts support the development of soft skills in the classroom? What does it look like? #reflectiveteacher https://t.co/Fn605L7Xj1

jdepler2 Jan 26 @ 7:24 PM EST

A3: Create a culture of collaboration. Ss need to work in a setting that will prepare them for life after school. #reflectiveteacher

nironside13 Jan 26 @ 7:24 PM EST

@suepetersen17 true - money (or in this case employability) talks! #reflectiveteacher

We have Aretha Franklin Days - show some RESPECT, acknowledge these skills in ea other, someone in class and out of class #reflectiveteacher

nironside13 Jan 26 @ 7:26 PM EST

@jdepler2 does that change your physical space? your practices? #reflectiveteacher

jdepler2 Jan 26 @ 7:26 PM EST

@MsJWhiting I love that idea! Our school just launched something similar with our U Matter program. #reflectiveteacher

jdepler2 Jan 26 @ 7:26 PM EST

@nironside13 Absolutely. There is constant movement around the room, Ss sit at tables, groups are in flux. #reflectiveteacher

mmorriswrite Jan 26 @ 7:26 PM EST

@nironside13 @suepetersen17 There is a lot being written about soft skills and employment right now. #reflectiveteacher

nironside13 Jan 26 @ 7:27 PM EST

@MsJWhiting awesome? How frequently? Any parent reporting or public recognition? #reflectiveteacher

jdepler2 Jan 26 @ 7:27 PM EST

@nironside13 Here are some practices I use to balance it all: https://t.co/DcKMUHbzxM #reflectiveteacher

suepetersen17 Jan 26 @ 7:28 PM EST

4 role playing a soft skill and a lack of said soft skill sometimes helps Ss. #reflectiveteacher

MsJWhiting Jan 26 @ 7:28 PM EST

@nironside13 Random intervals, public when you recognize someone in class, personal when recognize someone out of class #reflectiveteacher

A4: Technology teaches Ss how to be multi-taskers & media oriented. Preps them for jobs that don't exist yet. #reflectiveteacher

MsJWhiting Jan 26 @ 7:36 PM EST

A4: chat transcripts facilitate reflection on S's role in convo; can search names, key words #reflectiveteacher

nironside13 Jan 26 @ 7:36 PM EST

@amsgatorpride post-it notes? What is written on them? Can you explain? I love the way it makes the classroom look! #reflectiveteacher

suepetersen17 Jan 26 @ 7:37 PM EST
