Self-reflection, punctuality, attendance, work ethic, etc are all good ideas.
Some additional measures of soft skills teachers might consider include having students peer evaluate each other.
Take time to understand each individual student's likes/dislikes, preferences/non-preferences.
Teachers could break Behavior grading down into multiple compontnes. Communication, Critical Thinking, Collaboration, and Teamwork for example. Having students know what is expected of them will help in the development of the skills. If a student is stllar in all aspects but is struggling with thier communication it will show in their grading. I think it is impartant to point out the skills students still need to develop early on.
creating separate grades for behavior is better than bonus points or incorporating behavior grades into academic grades.
