The table that follows (see Figure 1) presents an attempt to create such a model. Six skill areas were chosen, some with sub-areas, as follows:

• Communication
  • Speaking
  • Listening
  • Reading
  • Writing
• Mathematical
• Problem Solving
• Intrapersonal
  • Motivation
  • Metacognition
• Interpersonal
  • Teamwork
  • Leadership
• Technology

The first column in the table lists these skills. The other columns contain the comparable skills from each of the nine studies/reports that were reviewed, demonstrating how each category is addressed by a given skills list. Skills that did not seem to fit any category were placed in the final row of the table.

Trying to fit a diverse set of models into a framework requires re-arranging the original lists. In addition, although the original terminology from the nine studies has been maintained, placing the terms into the ALL framework involves varying degrees of interpretation. To allow for comparisons to the original sources, the skills lists from the nine documents have been reproduced in Appendix A.
