Get Your Students Hired
Learned some new stratagies. Need to keep soft skills infront of the student all the time so they will become more successful in their career
It is important for students to learn skills beyond just their day-to-day tasks. Having the solid foundation of soft skills allows them to prepare for any field they may want to enter and sets them up for success and potential promotions down the line. These are also skills that students need while they are in school, and it is important to build these skills into the curriculum as a way to encourage/require students to begin using them. The more comfortable they are using these skills now, the more natural it will be to use these skills in the future.
The videos were a bit legnthy and the information was pretty obvious. I didn't feel the questions after the videos were very good. I would utilize some of the videos and information though.
Greetings,
I enjoyed this course and appreciate the valuable information on soft skills, adaptability, problem solving, conflict resolution and self- motivation. I've learned one of the most important goals of a college education is the preparation for success in the world of work. Also, if you're pursuing a nursing career, you'll need to practice and develop soft skills as you build technical and medical skills.

Greetings,
I enjoyed this course and appreciate the valuable information on communication techniques for soft skills growth in the classroom.
I've learned why soft skills are important, such as listening, collaborating with others, presenting ideas and communicating with team members are all highly valued in the modern workplace and now virtual platform. In the healthcare profession, soft skills are in fact more important and very much necessary for a person to be a good human being as well as to succeed in this profession. Soft skills are important because they enable students to adjust to the frustrations and challenges they will encounter in their adult life, as well as the demands of work. I will continue to encourage collaboration and cooperative learning. The best way to hone these interpersonal skills is by practicing them, putting students in groups not only reflects the nature of project work and teamwork that is prevalent in the modern workplace, it also gives them the opportunity to practice organizing themselves, managing their goals and deadlines, negotiating to make decisions, listening actively and supporting each other, and gaining empathy for others.
I think it's important for teachers to have a daily agenda posted either in person or online in the learning management system. Kids need to know deadlines and expectations ahead of time.
I like the preplanning concept. It not only assist with time managment but also gives a window into how much is true on your plate.
I would like to create daily soft skills labs and have the students evaluate their own performance
I can create soft skill exercises for my students to practice as small groups and then we can have an discussion.
It would be beneficial to students if a classroom culture was created that is similar to business culture.
The skills discussed in this program are essential to individuals in every aspect of their life - not just in their professions.
One important take away from the ED 403 class is to encourage students to use feedback to make improvements to hard and soft skills.
This course reinforced that good communication skills are necessary for teamwork and collaboration. The soft skills addressed in this couse can be practiced in a variety of ways and in all content areas. I believe that to prepare students for college and career, all subject areas must take part in teaching and reinforcing soft skills.
For post conference with the nursing student, the students share experiences and what they have learned. I will develop a rubric that can be given to them for review and I will use to critique the informative presentation.
I want to create a tool that can be for shift report and will include concise, clear information.
Writing is important in nursing and is a weak area for most students. I will create a tool for providing a summary of what the students' experienced or learned for the day.
The training was really common sense. But overall great information to continue to think about.
I feel it's very important to bring out the best in a student, and this course has shown that.
