 High performance skills - problem-solving, information management, communication and negotiation skills - have become increasingly critical to successful secondary, postsecondary and workplace education. Businesses want employees to address complex, real-world problems; high school educators seek to expand beyond traditional curricula and outside school walls. Increasingly, parents are concerned that their children develop cross-cutting skills necessary for success in higher education and high-skill careers.
Competencies That Count provides case studies of selected methodologies that schools and employers use to assess high performance skills, and offers a starting point for those who seek to equip students with a broad range of skills. Whether originating in high schools, designed by corporations to identify quality entry-level employees, or created by collaborations between schools, community-based organizations and businesses, the tools and methods of Competencies That Count inspire educators to try a range of strategies for teaching and assessing high-performance skills. Categories of assessment include: on-demand, multiple choice or short answer tests; self-assessments; competency assessment in the workplace; and competency assessment in adult education settings.
