Updated wording slightly. It's difficult to decide if I need every bullet to begin with a verb or not!
It's also difficult to decide if I need to fully describe each main point using the bullets, or if the main point stands for itself.
Still trying to figure out if I want to add the whole multitasking thing or not.
Added communication skills under "Respecting and Honoring others"! This has become a big thing for me recently. Perhaps it's from working with little ones, but I've decided that communication skills is one of the most beneficial things I can teach children. Included in that is a growing vocabulary that students can use to articulate themselves, but I'm not sure if I need to include that or not.
Added effective research under technology. How could I have missed putting that there? Another thing I've been thinking about recently.
