Core Competencies

(Grades K-12 • Cross-Curricular)

Whether it is provincial, district, school, or teacher initiated, core competencies complement the curriculum; they
truly encourage students to have a focal point in their learning. In saying this, they add an additional layer. How can
teachers ensure that they are giving students the time and space to document and reflect upon their core
competency development? Well, how about creating an Individual Space for core competencies? In doing so, core
competency development can be meaningfully and explicitly explored and shared throughout the entirety of the
school year, fostering important lessons for lifelong learning.
