I need to teach more adaptability. I am trying to have a steady and predictable class set up but I should intentionally shake it up a bit and talk the students through situations of flexibility

I have always valued soft skills and incorporated them in my classes, but I am looking for new ideas. Actually I might pull up some of the videos in here and show them because they are concise and good content. I am learning more ways to incorporate them

Basic computer skills are so important for our students. A lot of them are use to their chromebooks so when they come in my classroom, which is a computer lab with desktops, I take the time to teach them the basics of how to log out, save files, etc. 

Being a lifelong learner is so important. I think students need examples of that in the real world. I love it when I have a guest speaker in marketing or business classes who references the professional development or continuing education they do. It is so important for our students. 

Teamwork is built into all the business and marketing classes I teach. In particular, teaching presentation skills is one of my favorite things to do in marketing. It helps students build their confidence and overall professionalism. 

Writing is an important skill in the business and marketing courses I teach. It is a crucial part of communication and in particular a piece that I find very important in written communication is e-mail. Students must know how to properly communicate professionally but also when it is appropriate to do so and when in person communication is best. 

Teaching professional skills is just as important as technical skills. The soft skills are what employers are looking for our students to have in the workforce. 

I realize how important it is for the teacher to have interpersonal skills to help build relationships between the students and the instructor.

Yes, I agree with Nicole Yoacham that we should lead by example. 

I have learned that soft skills are just as important as technical skill for students to learn.
