Non-cognitive Skills - Defined• Non-cognitive skills are traits and abilities
that contribute to navigating life challenges skillfully (e.g., self-control, persistence, problem solving).
• Non-cognitive skills include: - Interpersonal (e.g., interactions with other people) - Intrapersonal (e.g., occur within a person's own mind)

Non-cognitive Skills – So What?• “Children’s perception of their ability, their
expectations of future success, and the extent to which they value an activity influence their motivation and persistence leading to improved academic outcomes, especially for low-attaining pupils” (Institute of Education, 2013).
• Non-cognitive skills are more crucial than sheer brainpower to achieving success (e.g., encountering and overcoming obstacles) (Tough, 2012).
