Critical thinking. Problem solving. Dealing with difficulty, failure. Why? Important to be resilient.
-
Good morning MT chatters. Steve from NJ double dipping
-
I think it is important to teach positivity as a soft skill. I see far too many adults who never learned how to be positive.
-
+1 to crit thinking / prob solving. Love teaching kids how to isolate error / debug code - transferable skill

Another essential soft skill: learning how to learn - on-demand learning. Kids can teach us a lot about this in informal learning

Good morning - I don't like the words soft skills bc they may be the most important. The keys to life https://t.co/TNtLuRl4TF

Good Morning . Jill from CO up and starting the day with some happy!
-
Morning, . I've made recent 'soft-skill' sorties to teach students moves instead of or right after saying, "I don't know."

Jay, thank you for this! I have been struggling with saying soft skills and like the term keys to life.

Hello ! In HS I think I spend the most time trying to help Ss see that grades are a measurement, they don't define them as people.
-
This is such an interesting topic, . Risk-Taking, Play, Connected Communities are three that I am thinking.
-
This is awesome! I always say "what question could you ask instead?", what do you say?

Curating is another.
is convening CO Ts to develop a framework on a P-20 continuum that addresses these very skills.
-
Plus, for some, these skills might feel 'harder' (more tangible *or* more difficult) than other curricular targets.
-
The first category will be developed this 6/30 and 7/1. We have an app process and looking for 30 educators to help.
-
1st unpack: What do you mean by "I don't know"? "I give up" - "I'm confused" - "I can't do this" - "I want to find out"

Unpacking often reveals next steps of empowering action, ideally turns "I don't know" from dead end to doorway.
-
Brian, I feel they are less tangible. More process thinking with lots of dif. paths to take down the road.
-
Tangible=wrong word? I'm thinking of S who's intuitive big-picture thinker, but spotty capitalizer, say. 1/2
