Unlisted Life Skills Empathy Creative Thinking Learning-to-Learn Resource Management Completing forms Using maps, charts, graphs Teamwork Systems Thinking

Life Skills Behavioral responses (vs. attitude or knowledge gain) that - enable youth to connect, produce, or navigate challenges across a variety of settings in childhood; and - predict future capacity to connect, produce, or navigate diverse settings as young adults

Life Skills Outcomes Skill demonstration during short- term events provides a measure of progress toward skill mastery; Skill mastery, evident in competent practice over an extended time OR effective application of a practice in a new setting indicates impact of a planned program.

Life Skills Measurement Skill demonstration criteria should be specified in the event/curricula and matched to developmental stage, learning environment, and practical needs –Ex: Public speaking may involve (age 9): gathering, organizing, and telling about a simple topic, with guidance; (age 12): completing basic tasks on own, more complex topics or delivery with coaching (age 16): developing topical ideas and delivery skills in a more precise and creative way

Life Skills Measurement Skill mastery must be specific to the process and subject area and may involve several levels achievement, continuous practice, and multiple applications –Ex: Goal setting may involve (basic): listing and checking off project tasks with guidance; (intermediate): completing tasks on own (advanced): researching, identifying, and tracking tasks and learning for a self- determined project
