[quote=Anonymous]Grades don't matter if the focus is non-cognitive skills. Definition Non-cognitive skills are any skills that are not cognitive, such as memory, attention, planning, language and thinking skills. Non-cognitive skills include emotional maturity, empathy, interpersonal skills and verbal and non-verbal communication. Non-cognitive skills influence the overall behavior of a person. For example, a nurse who is able to to easily comfort patients has non-cognitive skills. Cognitive vs. Non-Cognitive Non-cognitive skills are often not measurable, unlike cognitive skills, which educators can measure objectively with tests. As a result, educators can have a difficult time assessing non-cognitive skills and helping students develop these skills. Those who develop non-cognitive skills are more likely to develop cognitive skills, but not necessarily the other way around, according to Inequality in America. [/quote]
