Core Competencies Self Assessment
Reflecting on Growth of Your Core Competencies
As a Ministry requirement, you will reflect on growth of your core competencies. This document will be shared with your parents as part of the 3 - Way Conferences which take place on Thursday, October 26th.
Remember: our core competencies are broken down into three areas:
Thinking
Communication
Personal & Social
For this reflection, we will focus on Thinking: Creative Thinking and Critical Thinking.
The Three Categories of our Competencies
Communication competency encompasses the set of abilities that you use to impart and exchange information, experiences, and ideas, to explore the world around you, and to understand effectively engage in the use of digital media. Communication competency provides a bridge between your learning, your personal and social identity and relationships, and the world in which you interact.
Creative thinking involves the generation of new ideas and concepts that have value to the individual or others, and the development of these ideas and concepts from thought to reality.
Critical and Reflective thinking involves making judgments based on reasoning: students consider options; analyze these using specific criteria; and draw conclusions and make judgments. Critical thinking competency encompasses a set of abilities that students use to examine their own thinking, and that of others, about information that they receive through observation, experience, and various forms of communication.
A positive personal and cultural identity is the awareness, understanding, and appreciation of all the facets that contribute to a healthy sense of oneself. It includes awareness and understanding of one's family background, heritage(s), language(s), beliefs, and perspectives in a pluralistic society.
Students who have a positive personal and cultural identity value their personal and cultural narratives, and understand how these shape their identity. Supported by a sense of self worth, self-awareness, and positive identity, students become confident individuals who take satisfaction in who they are, and what they can do to contribute to their own well-being and to the well-being of their family, community, and society.
Social responsibility involves the ability and disposition to consider the interdependence of people with each other and the natural environment; to contribute positively to one's family, community, society, and the environment; to resolve problems peacefully; to empathize with others and appreciate their perspectives; and to create and maintain healthy relationships.
