Soft Skills
This subject has really opened my eye to the effectiveness of soft skills on the enhancement of student learning. I have used alot of hard skills in the classroom and now I will be adding more soft skill to better communicate a caring environment for the students. I probably will take this course again in the future to keep me mindful of the needs for soft skill in the learning arena.
As my teaching career progresses, it becomes more apparant to me each day how important the soft skills are to my students. I recently read that out of ten people who lost jobs, nine of them were dismissed due to inadequate soft skills. This says it all. Several of my former students have actually come back to school to speak of their experiences in the workplace and by and large, most of them cite excellent soft skills as an attribute and a means for advancement.
Soft skills are critical to customer service. Theres are also evident in the health field.
