This is a list of "basic Skills" which we worked on for our employing board, to use
as a foundation for forming job descriptions and (more importantly) requisites for
a candidate to become a schools worker. Here's what we came up with -
sorry there's not much detail, but it was kept general so that we could interpret it
for our own High School contexts... I guess you could interpret it in terms of your
High School community.
