Shaping and developing these skills encourages scholarship, opposed to an education that enables a student to “get by,” or in other words, “meet requirements.” https://padlet.com/jlesandrini17/iu2mhah5a4v4/wish/174857647 -jose]]> 2017-06-01 17:23:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jlesandrini17/iu2mhah5a4v4/wish/174857647 Michael https://padlet.com/jlesandrini17/iu2mhah5a4v4/wish/174858089 Poor households are more stressful, and prevents kids from developing NCS; trauma is bad for kids because of stress (witnessing/receiving domestic violence, getting robbed, etc.). "adverse childhood experiences" are bad for kids and learning.

Non-cognitive skills seem like a way of contextualizing what students know in social or non-academic settings. A student can be taught American history, but that knowledge is relatively useless in a vacuum, and standardized tests promote vacuum-packed knowledge. It is important for us to teach non-cognitive skills because students need to learn how to be functioning people while also learning cognitive skills: they can manage stress, understand the 1st amendment, learn how to learn, and do calculus. By learning  non-cognitive skills, students are given the contextual skills they’ll need to actually apply their cognitive skills. ]]> 2017-06-01 17:33:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jlesandrini17/iu2mhah5a4v4/wish/174859264
