soft skills development

Capy's Plan

Capy would like to see all of us improve our Capyskills. Capyskills are soft skills like communication, time management and collaboration. Capy has developed grids of these transversal competencies to help you evaluate your level and guide you on how to improve.

plan summary

  • choose a skill or sub-competency like HOS.1.2 Set Goals
  • self evaluate what level you are at. i.e. at level 6 you can "create an action plan for each goal".
  • gather evidence to support your self evaluation
  • meet with a mentor or teacher to:
    • confirm your level
    • discover & plan how you can improve your level
  • work on your project, implementing your improvment plan
  • self evaluate your progress every week
  • meet briefly with your mentor to go over your progress
  • when you move up a level, celebrate, check out other Capyskills and continue to improve

Ultimately the plan is to help you improve in the areas that mean the most to you.
