We are going through an Ideation process in our district with facilities. We have different focus groups; students, admin, board members, staff, and support staff. They ask a number of different questions starting with values, what's important to them in their high school, etc.
Fun to hear what they had to say when it came to "What life skills will you need when you graduate?" Besides the humorous (how to cook Ramen noodles and Mac and Cheese), they were very insightful and it is fun to hear your kids get it right. They mentioned accountability for all they do, a great work ethic, dedication, respect for others, determination, focus on the big picture, self-motivations, common sense, basic life skills, ability to adapt, desire, passion, faith in yourself, confidence, perseverance, organizational skills, and tech savvy skills.
Great, thoughtful answers by great kids. My question, "Do we provide opportunities for students to develop those skills in our school?"
