I learned that I need to improve my computer literacy skill as listed here, especially improving my system for files and folders and file-naming.  

Cyber learning is becoming a more important part of education that ever before and it needs to be integrated into the classroom experience as appropriate.

Learning about writing as a way to enhance student skills and learning.

Seems like the Pennsylvania Soft Skills study is just common sense.

Soft skills are important for success in the classroom.

Soft Skills are used to build character, self-confidence, and fostering good relationships. Our students trust and respect grow from this foundation as they go forward.

There are so many gems that come out of these Soft Skills, and I will continue to work on them all because all of them help me to become a better professional as well as serve the students, staff, and community with resilience. The effective teaching strategies bring about added value to all parties involved.

Emotional intelligence is important. I think that it's important to apply empathy in order to meet students where they are. 

What was interesting was the emphasis on common sense. I think that training to develop more "common sense" is needed especially around diversity and accessibility. Those 2 areas are not always intuitive and require intentionality and further training. 

The breakdown of the different soft skills was helpful. What I learned from this module is the importance of creating a supportive and engaging learning environment. Applying them in the classroom setting requires intentionality.
