What are Soft Skills really?

What are Soft Skills really?

Currently, one of our primary focus areas is to address the issue of a poorly prepared and trained workforce, as it relates to "soft skills". Defining "soft skills" can be difficult in itself, but for the sake of this introduction, we will define them as the following:

Social Skills
Higher-order thinking
Self-control
Positive self-concept
Communication
Hardworking and dependable
Self-motivation
Teamwork
Positive attitude
Responsibility
Integrity/Ethics


Taken from Workforce connections: Key soft skills that foster youth workforce success, Child Trends, June 2015
These skills along with a few others will hopefully help employees, that are interested, transition into Leadership and Management positions. Our courses here allow users to come full circle by starting or reviewing basic "soft skills" before progressing into outstanding Leadership and Management courses.
Let Mind Over Tutors, Inc. help empower you to grow in today's workforce and life!

Why are we still talking about the ineffectiveness of End-of-Grade (EOG) exams?

Highlight from episode...
It appears that standardized testing is not something new nor is its mandated implementation in schools, novel. Who knew? I mean that literally. According to the timeline of History of Standardized Testing in the United States, something appears to have awakened in the 21st century as it relates to standardized tests. Between 1965 and 2000, education had settled in on assessments that served their purpose.
