Skillsline’s partnership with ESC of I gives member districts access to a versatile microlesson platform for human skills development, which is available on any device, anywhere, anytime. Support resources allow for educators to deepen the learning experience through guided discussions that spur reflection, surface relevancy, and encourage application. Microlessons take less than 10 minutes to complete and provide strategies, tools, and mindsets that learners can apply immediately to their everyday lives. Learners achieve an understanding of human skills that provides a foundation for their further and lifelong development in career, school, and life. Skillsline is configurable and provides an opportunity to earn a credential aligned with the needs of local and state level employers.
Skillsline’s professional development focuses on teachers, administrators, and staff to not only develop human skills, but to shift mindsets to recognize the value of explicit instruction and intentional discussion for the development of these skills. By investing in professional skill development of educators themselves, school and district leaders begin to re-engage educators during a time when many are continuing to navigate unprecedented times. Skillsline professional development models implementation with students and effects positive shifts in culture, resulting in the understanding, enthusiasm, and motivation to bring this knowledge to students and prepare them for the future.
"Growing up in Muncie, I witnessed the devastation that the plant closures wreaked across our community. Indiana is still at risk of job loss due to automation and advances in artificial intelligence – the most at risk of all the states.” Co-Founder of Skillsline Chris Mackey said. “We urgently need to equip Indiana students with the human skills necessary to thrive in a modern economy along with the confidence to pursue post-secondary training and education.
