Accountability
T/F-It is your principal's responsibility to check life skills accountability.
False. You should be checking accountability regularly to ensure matches and completions are correct.
T/F. Our students come to us knowing what soft skills are and how to use them.

T/F. Cards can be updated as little as once per month.

T/F-It is ok to have stray marks on the answer document.
False. Stray marks interfere with the pattern of black circles that the computer is programmed to search for.
T/F-Post-tests can be scanned prior to the student drop date.
False! If the test is scanned prior to the student being dropped, campus admin will need to reach out to OPS for assistance adjusting dates for a match. Teachers can also rescan the scantron and it should match if scanned before the drop date.
T/F-Activities such as journaling and group/peer discussions develop soft skills.
True. These activities are great for helping students put ideas into words and become more comfortable with having discussions.
T/F-Student SPRs will never be subpoenaed.

Which of the following is NOT an observed behavior change after consistently practicing soft skills?
Increased confidence in public speaking.
Increased emotional vocabulary.

False. The new cards should only be used and should only have one test at the bottom on Changes (MCAA) and the top for CIP (MOCTS).
T/F-Scanning less than 20 sheets at a time cuts down on scanning issues.
True. This leaves less room for error. You may scan multiple batches in one day.
T/F-Life skills scan reports should be accessed through the ATT intranet tab.

True! A person lacking soft skills often has a difficult time gaining or keeping employment.
T/F-On Friday instructional packets, the date should be placed on the front of the card in the appropriate module and lesson.
False. Fridays should be documented on the back of the card since we only send supplemental material for Fridays.
T/F-When looking at documents, they should be face-up and upside-down (turned the opposite way you would read it) as you place into the scanner tray.
False. Documents should be face-up and you should be able to read them as you place into the scanner tray.
You have several students showing who have never been on your campus. Are these students hurting your accountability? (ex. unit code scanned wrong)
