Reflecting on Core Competencies
Description
Core competencies are the skills that you need to develop to create deep, lifelong learning. The three areas are Communication, Thinking, and Personal and Social. You are working on these competencies all the time. By reflecting on them, you will gain more insight into your strengths and what you need to intentionally develop.
What to do... reflect and set goals
Reflect on where you are at and what you need to do to improve. Watch these videos to help guide your work: Introduction and Goal Setting
Evaluate where you are at with each Core Competency using the checklists.
Think of what you need to do to develop to the next Profile level. Ask for input from others.
Complete the Goal Setting Template to set measurable goals to develop your Core Competencies.
