Assessing general education skills is where the secondary and or vocational education begins. The so-called “soft skills” that should have been developed in high school are elements of necessary focus so students can maximize the desired benefits of a vocational school. As a vocational school instructor, the primary focus is on teaching a vocation. However, to be successful in reaching students so they will retain what they are to be learning, it is necessary for instructors to place increased emphasis on critical thinking, writing, communication, problem solving, and ethical reasoning skills. Assessing student values and attitudes consistent with general education skills coupled with successfully leading students to success is a challenging set of goals.
