Excalent course never realzed how much of an impact Soft Skills and EQ have in a work place

As an educator, I think we sometimes focus on hard-skills more than soft-skills. However, it is important to focus on soft-skills as research shows that focusing both soft-skills inconjunction with hard-skills are needed in the workplace to be effective. In addition, focusing on soft-skills can usually fix other problems that may be occuring. 

Learning about soft skills in the workplace and in general will be very beneficial moving forward. There are great stats in this pd session that get you thinking!

This first section gave great insight into why soft skills are important in the classroom but also in our own general life and thinking. 

I have learned valuable information from this module. There are several characteristics that I believe are innate and some you just have to learn to be successful in academia. Students, I believe, generally do better and are more accountable when instructors develop and utilize as many (if not all) soft skills as possible.

This material is very new to me. learning about the different types of skill was very educational.

To ensure students are equipped with soft skills needed to be successful in the workplace, the Career and Technical Education department in my school is working with teachers, parents, students, administration, guidance counselors, and representatives from business and industry to develop a College and Career Readiness rubric to help students self assess and to offer feedback to students on a variety of soft skills.  These skills include time management, verbal and non verbal communication skills, collaboration skills, etc. 

Having more control of my emotions.  I will not longer rush to answer an email or text until I can first control how I am feeling so that it is not reflected in a negative way.

I have noticed if I explain in a little more detail about the "why"and  "how" with curriculum as well as the reasons we have the structure or rules of the school the easier it is to gain trust, credibility and get beetter compliance

This was a  enjoyable course.  It managed to make soft skills become something every one should want to have.  people, workplace, soft and hard skills and emotional intelligence were quickly and effectively defined.  So was common sense.  (so i had to laugh when I missed a practice question concerning common sense, lol).  there is a survey for rating yourself as you think others will rate your soft skills.  I plan on letting a few of my peers fill this out as well (some i get along with and some i don;t) just to see and help improve my soft skills… >>>

Excellent Course

This is the the course I needed to learn the most.

By improving my soft skills, I hope to improve my classroom Navigation and control.
