A full 5-day unit on what employers actually value
Most soft-skills resources are a definition slide and a word search. This is a week that changes how students show up: they learn the distinction, apply it to a real hiring outcome, assess themselves honestly, and leave with a growth plan.

How the week runs.
Vocabulary-targeted guided notes with a complete answer key, taking students from the terms to using them on their own document.
Two new employees start with identical certifications and test scores. Six months later one is on a leadership track and the other is not. Students diagnose why, and name the skills that made the difference.
A project or performance task with a rubric, so the week ends with a document or a demonstration rather than a worksheet.
An 8-question application MCQ set, a performance task and an exit ticket, each with a key or a rubric, plus self-grading Google Forms™ versions.
Plus self-grading Google Forms™ versions of the MCQ and the short-response task.
A Read-First guide and a minute-by-minute 5-day plan mean about ten minutes of prep.
Editable .docx and .pptx plus print .pdf, so it fits however you teach.
Every unit turns on an original case study students have to diagnose.
A Standards & Skills Map with a page for converting it to your state's standards.
Every handout, assessment and task ships with a key or a rubric.
Every plan carries a block-schedule alternative and differentiation notes.
If you have already taught with this, tell other teachers how it went. Every review on this site comes from a real buyer and is checked against an order before it goes up.
