Success In Life Tip – nea.org/fivethings
Research shows the best predictor of students college success is their “conscientiousness,” as measured by dependability,
perseverance and work ethic. “Agreeableness,” which includes teamwork, is next. While not exactly high-level math, these also are
teachable skills: ”You can learn to behave in dependable ways. For some people, it is second nature, for others, it’s a real struggle,”
said University of Minnesota professor Neil Sackett to Education Week.
“Conscientiousness” – The key to success
