Being able to adjust or modify goals, or find new paths toward goals matters, too. A student with the qualities of adaptability and flexibility will be able to acclimate to new situations and challenges. They will have the ability to change to fit new circumstances that they may encounter.
In a flexible learning environment, teachers more easily calibrate their language, and students make overt connections between subject area content and skills. While this may not show up explicitly in a standardized test result, students build their ability to see the world as inter-connected, which we know it is.
