What are the Nine Skills for Success?
ADAPTABILITY
Just like animals need to ADAPT to their changing environments, we use adaptability to achieve our goals when expected or unexpected change occurs, by planning, staying focused, and overcoming obstacles. For example, you used your adaptability when we had to start learning from home.
READING
Your ability to find, understand, and use information presented through words, symbols, and images. For example, we use this skill to learn the rules of a new boardgame by reading the instructions manual.
COLLABORATION
Have you ever heard the saying “there is no I in TEAM”? Collaboration allows us to work in a team or group to reach a common goal. We always use collaboration when doing group or class projects, or on the sports field in gym class when playing as part of a team.
WRITING
Your ability to share information using written words, symbols, and images. For example, we use this skill to fill out our homework, write short stories, and chat with friends and family online.
COMMUNICATION
The act of giving, receiving, and sharing information — in other words, talking or writing, and listening or reading. For example, we use this skill when playing video games with friends to help us win the game.
CREATIVITY & INNOVATION
Your ability to imagine, develop, and encourage, ideas in ways that are new. For example, we use this skill to discover better ways of doing homework, school projects and our house chores by finding ways to make them more enjoyable.
DIGITAL
Your ability to use digital technology and tools to find, create and share information and content. For example, we use this skill to complete our homework, safely use social media, and play online games.
NUMERACY
Your ability to find, understand, use, and report mathematical information presented through words, numbers, symbols, and graphics. For example, we use this skill to perform calculations, do homework and play Monopoly!
PROBLEM SOLVING
Your ability to identify, propose solutions, and make decisions. When you get stuck in a game or during a puzzle, you use your problem-solving skills to reach the end of the level or complete the puzzle.
WHAT IS +1
The +1 represents the Technical Skills necessary for skilled trade and technology careers. Technical Skills relate to expertise someone possesses that assist in the completion of a job or task. In general, these are abilities acquired through practice and learning.
