FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
1. What are Core Competencies?
The Core Competencies are sets of intellectual, personal, and social and emotional proficiency that all students need in order to engage in deep, lifelong learning.
2. Why is it important to complete this exercise?
Self-assessment of core competencies can provide insight into who you are as a learner and can help to be more aware of your strengths and challenges. This work promotes a shift towards student-centred learning in
which you as a student define your own own goals and the steps required to meet
them.
3. Does it have to be my best work?
You may want to share your best work and that is acceptable. However. the best learning often comes from reflecting on things that have been challenging. It is the refection piece and what you have learned about yourself as a learner that is important to share. Use the reflection questions to guide your thinking if needed.
4. Is my someone marking this work?
These reflections are not graded by teachers. Although we look at your submissions, this is really an exercise for your (student's) own growth as a learner. This is a strength-based exercise and encourage students to see the value of monitoring their growth as a learner.
5. Why am I being asked to save my reflections in a digital portfolio?
Having your reflections stored in an electronic portfolio over the years will support you with your Capstone Project in Grade 12. You will have access to this digital portfolio even after you graduate. We strongly advise that students share their reflections with parents every year.
6. As a parent how can I see my student's reflections?
We encourage parents to review this work with your student and engage in conversations about how your student's chosen evidence supports their reflections. To access :
