Professionalism Unit

Have you heard how many young hires lack professionalism and “soft skills”? Would you like to prepare your students for success in the post-pandemic world? If so, here is a set of lessons ready-made for your secondary or post-secondary classroom. Each thirty to ninety minute lesson includes a short reading or informational slides, DOs and DON’Ts, an activity, and a reflection. These can be taught stand-alone or sequentially as a unit.

.You’ll find lessons on:

• email etiquette
• phone etiquette
• levels of attire
• workplace culture basics
• Videoconferencing basics
• thank you notes

Here are some highlights of the ways to use this bundle: 

• As min-lessons on an as-needed basis
• As a week-long unit on professionalism in your junior or senior-level English or Business courses
• As part of a semester-long or year-long Capstone project course

Worth Noting

Professional skills are applicable in many different courses and fields. This unit offers flexibility in the skills to teach and when and how to teach them.

The Sonderful Scholar recognizes that creating authentic learning opportunities requires supreme flexibility. We hope that by offering time-saving, scaffolded resources in a logical sequence, they will be an easy foundation from which you can differentiate for the unique needs of your students.
