Core Competencies Reflection

 
Here is evidence that I can…strategize, analyze, reason, estimate, model, be creative, visualize, reflect and revise, connect, use mistakes to advance learning, use technology or other tools, extend, reason logically, adapt my ideas, etc.

Core Competency: Critical Thinking 

 

I can successfully take information from different perspectives and use it to help me advance toward my goals. Also I can reflect on my thinking and evaluate my actions and change them for better. I can use criteria to try to best get what I want. I will ask open-ended questions to gain more information. I can experiment with different way of doing things such as the comic strip I did for the American Revolution which I had never made before. I can use and make criteria for design options, I did this with the layout of my comic strip for example I knew I needed twenty slides. I always monitor my progress and adjust my actions to make sure I hand in something on time. I will make the right choices to create the impact I needed to.

Ways I want to improve are…

I have a hard time showing something that I like or don’t like, because of how I don’t have good facial expressions. I don’t know how to explore with different materials. I usually use one way to go through with something and change it as I go.

Core Competencies Reflection

 
Here is evidence that I can…collaborate, teach, be considerate to others, discuss, contribute to class discussion, explain, justify, share ideas, etc.

Core Competency: Communication 

 

I can ask and respond to simple, direct questions. During the Industrial Revolution project fair, I was asked many questions about how my invention worked, and what it was made out of. These questions varied but I was able to respond to all of them, in an appropriate way that would answer their questions and promote my invention at the same time. Also I can actively listen and support, as well as encourage the speaker. I have demonstrated this by using eye contact, and nodding, at times. I understand that people have different point of view, and I can look through their shoes and disagree with them respectfully, I did this by listening to what they had to say and suggesting new ways of doing things. I am able to share information about a topic that is important to me by one, educating the person I am talking to about what it is, and secondly having a structured conversation with them on why I am interested. I can present my information in an organized way, on my poster board I had three main points and they were all clearly labeled and had more information beneath their individual headings. I can and have presented to audiences I do not know, the entire invention fair everyone that came up to me I didn’t know, and I ended selling my project to them. In group projects I do my share an achieve a common goal’s. I have done this by first agreeing with my group on a goal, then discussing how we are going to get there, as well as who is going to do what. I can take on roles and responsibilities in a group, in the invention project I was alone so I had all the roles and all responsibilities. I can recount simple experiences and activities and explain things I have learned, during this project I have learned a lot about being a entrepreneur and how hard it is to come up with an original idea and I can share that.

Ways I want to improve are…

I have some troubles with giving and receiving feedback. I never give feedback unless the person wants me to even if I notice something could be improved. Also after getting feedback on especially tests I don’t usually re-submit them for a better mark.
