| Abstract: | The article focuses on Principle No. 2 of AASA’s Public Education Promise (PEP), titled "The New Basics: Real Skills for Real Life," which emphasizes integrating skills such as empathy, collaboration, communication, creativity, problem solving, and executive functioning into public school curricula. AASA leaders highlight the need to broaden educational success beyond academics to better prepare students for real-world challenges, addressing issues like distraction and well-being in the digital age. The principle advocates for systemic support from school leaders to embed these skills alongside traditional academics, with clear expectations and assessments that reflect student growth in these areas. This approach aims to create healthier, more engaged learners equipped for life beyond school. [Extracted from the article] |
