Student Success Skills

Providing Students the Skills Needed to Thrive in School & Life

Student Success Skills encompass six fundamental standards designed to support students in mastering and developing essential academic and interpersonal skills necessary for success in school, college, career, and life. These six skills are taught in all schools, by all teachers, to all students. Each skill has corresponding standards across grade levels:

  • Sense of Belonging
  • Self-Awareness
  • Self-Management
  • Social Competence
  • Collaborative Problem Solving
  • Reflective Learning Strategies

Self-Awareness
The ability to recognize one’s own thoughts, emotions, and values and how they influence behavior. The perception of the extent to which one’s most basic abilities can be developed through study, practice, dedication and hard work.

Reflective Learning Strategies
The ability to monitor and understand one’s own learning, motivation, and comprehension processes, to transform that understanding into critical thinking, and to self-correct when one detects confusion or error in one’s thinking

Collaborative Problem Solving
The ability to work effectively with others to create products or solve problems by sharing understanding and pooling knowledge, skills, and efforts to reach solutions.

Self- Management
The ability to regulate emotions, thoughts, and behaviors on one’s own and in social interactions with peers and adults

Sense of Belonging 
The sense of being accepted, valued, included, and encourages by others (teachers and peers) in the academic classroom setting.

Social Competence
The ability to understand social and ethical norms for behavior and empathize with others from diverse backgrounds.

Student Success Skills are taught in All Schools, by All Teachers, to All Students.
