How do I enter Soft Skills like Habits of Mind?
There is an option on the Big Idea if you'd like to keep Soft Skills seperated from the academic Content Targets.
If you don't see these distinctions in the Big Idea, ask in a Helpdesk Ticket to turn on the Habits of Mind section here and include this picture (or a link to this article for clarity), if you can. You can also call it something else if you use different language. Just request that language in the ticket you make.
To add the HOM standards, use the Standards Editor, just like academic standards, but go to the Content Area Editor and set Area Type to "Life Long Learning"
