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 />
