SOFT SKILLS<br />

<strong>Plymouth</strong> High <strong>School</strong> evaluates students on the skills of collaboration,<br />

respect, initiative, and work habits. Teachers rate each student on a scale of 1-4<br />

with 4 being the highest, at the end of each quarter. These ratings are independent<br />

of the academic grade assigned. Soft skill ratings will help each student to<br />

understand the relationship between learning and these important skills. Local<br />

employers have pledged to ask students for their soft skill evaluations at the time<br />

of application for employment.<br />

circumstances. Grades may be changed later if circumstances and learning<br />

warrant.<br />
