What do Employers look for in employees?
After reviewing a large number of papers on this subject. I have came to the conclusion that educators must carefully consider teaching and developing the following;
PASSION & Positive Attitude
Strong Work Ethic
Intrinsic Motivation
Focus
Persistence
Self Confidence
Empathy for Other People
People Skills & Teamwork Ability
Ability to Teach Yourself New Skills
Adaptability/Flexibility
Problem Solving & Analytical Skills
Ability to search & find answers
Oral/Written Communication skills
Reading, Writing & Math Skills
Computer Skills
Creativity

Our state test (the WASL) doesn't consider many of these areas. Perhaps we are leaving some children behind?
