Details | Higher education institutions are under pressure to better align their programs with the skills and experience that learners need for the real world. Five success skills have been proposed by Thomas Hoerr: empathy, self-control, integrity, diversity, and grit. These formative skills have a profound impact on how schools should operate, how curricula should be developed, how teachers teach, and how principals or administrators lead. This paper reviews The Formative Five: Fostering Grit, Empathy, and Other Success Skills Every Student Needs. In addition to a summary and critique, the steps to developing and strategies for implementing each of the formative five success skills are shared along with a translated version of the questionnaire for students in the Appendix. |
