Soft Skills for Strong Teachers

Third-party on-site course

Participants will deepen their understanding of the notion of soft skills and will reflect on their own leadership, creativity, and communication abilities, among others. They will also learn how to incorporate the transmission of those skills into every facet of education, instead of teaching them solely through special projects.

Description

--> Read the full course description and tentative schedule <--

Hard skills, also known as academic knowledge and know-how, are often the direct focus of education and the skills considered necessary to get your foot in the door of many fields of employment. Soft skills, however, are the interpersonal and intrapersonal abilities that not only help you keep that job and advance in your career – they help you live better in every aspect of your life. During this course, educators will deepen their understanding of Soft Skills and reflect on their own abilities in their macro-areas such as Leadership, Relational Skills, Self-Awareness, Creativity, Problem-Solving, and Communication. Through hands-on activities that combine these skills, participants will learn to transform the prevailing theories of communication, as well as emotional and social intelligence, into practical experiences in their classroom. While Soft Skills are sometimes conveyed in the curriculum through special projects and after-school activities, this course proposes ways to incorporate them into every facet of the school day.

The course will help the participants to:
