The MegaSkills program builds these understandings, the true basics that sustain us even as the world around us changes. Today, more than ever, these need to be taught. They are the qualities, skills and attitudes needed for success in school and beyond. The MegaSkills are based on the study of report cards, personnel records, and interviews with educators and employers. These are lifelong attributes taught and reinforced through this program in the classroom and at home.
