It’s All About Skills is a series of programs that describe the eight Critical Skills that you, your children, your grandchildren and all of us need to succeed as well as to ensure the survival of our constitutional republic. The skills were derived not from simple surveys but from hard data from the kinds of skills that organizations – public and private – actually look for when they hire individuals who will have an impact on the organization. Programs following the introductory series will focus on perspectives and experiences of others such as teachers, businesses, parents, students, executive recruiters, career coaches, politicians, etc. in teaching, using and assessing the skills. Some programs will focus on specific programs and/or activities that a teacher can do in classrooms – or that parents who home school their children can do.
