7 Skills for Action Skills for Action is the high school component of Lions Quest programs. The innovative and flexible curriculum moves beyond the classroom to foster civic responsibility and build essential social, emotional, academic and workplace skills. The curriculum manual, divided into four parts - Building a Learning Community, Exploring Personal and Social Responsibility, Taking Action through Service-Learning, and Evaluating and Sharing Experiences - is designed to support educators in integrating the service-learning methodology and project focus into any subject area. Program Goals • Support the development of responsible, healthy, substancefree young adults • Help students learn and apply key personal, social and employability skills • Involve young people in collaboration and meaningful contributions to the school and community • Reinforce positive values including honesty, self-discipline, commitment to family and respect for others • Promote understanding and appreciation of diversity Skills Bank - A highly flexible component of Skills for Action, the Skills Bank contains four broad categories of essential skills for life: Cultural Awareness, Interpersonal Communication, Personal Management and Responsibility, and Study and Writing Skills. Each category is comprised of five to nine skills for a total of 26 skill sets. Skill lessons are divided into an introductory rationale, guidelines, and multiple application options for teaching, reinforcement and enrichment. The Skills Bank serves as a supplement to the service-learning curriculum that can also be used as a standalone program or integrated into any subject in which social, emotional and study skills are an essential component. A one-day staff development workshop is available to support Skills Bank implementation. Assessment - Unit tests and assignments help assess knowledge gained from individual lessons.
