  • erringreg Jan 20 @ 10:10 PM EST
    A1 Sadly, no #Edcampbccc for me. My one question is how to integrate the Core Competencies into my practice in a meaningful way for the kids, their families, my practice and the program I teach in, in a time-efficient way. #bcedchat
  • MadelynFlood_ Jan 20 @ 10:11 PM EST

  • ChristineYH Jan 20 @ 10:11 PM EST
    A1. Yup. I was there. One question: what’s next? I would love to see at the next @EdCampBCCC attendees bringing exemplars of what works in their classrooms, schools, or programs. Let’s go deep with our discussions. I want to get past sense making and hypotheses. #bcedchat

  • msyehuang Jan 20 @ 10:13 PM EST
    A1-2: For me, I also wonder, how do I share the ideas of Computational Thinking with colleagues so it isn't viewed as an add-on. Using CT tasks is a great vehicle for CCs #bcedchat
  • sd36msjames Jan 20 @ 10:13 PM EST
    q1: Yes. Question from yesterday is what are some different ways I can engage my students with CC reflections that are authentic, meaningful, and don't feel heavy/overused. #bcedchat

  • Just_in_Moore Jan 20 @ 10:14 PM EST
    A1: a question I get asked at secondary schools is how do they "organize" the time for students to think about core competencies. sometimes there is a sense of it is not my course. #bcedchat
  • jnovakowski38 Jan 20 @ 10:14 PM EST
    Q2: While self-assessing Core Competencies, we are continually asking our students to look at how they are developing. As a teacher, how has your understanding and use of Core Competencies in your teaching developed since last year? #bcedchat

    A1: one Q that kept coming up was ‘how do we make the process of self assessing the CC meaningful?’ (Also who defines ‘meaningful’) #bcedchat
    In reply to @CarrieAntoniazz
  • nico1e Jan 20 @ 10:14 PM EST
    A1: Yes I was there! I also have a hand cramp from typing on my phone! One question that arose from our discussion is "how do we teach the process of (and reasons for) reflection in a strategic way rather than assuming highschool students know how (or why) to reflect" #bcedchat

    #bcedchat I agree that cracking cultural/traditional walls need to have some opening to allow 'stuff' out and in. Broken is too strong. I also like that learning is messy and involves bumping stuff together. A great reason for classroom communities and PLN's like #bcedchat
    • jnovakowski38 Jan 20 @ 10:11 PM EST
      I like the second question. Am pondering the notion that we begin with the mindset that students need to be broken...maybe just cracked open a little (based on my glow stick experience!)

  • KylaLCameron Jan 20 @ 10:16 PM EST
    From the discussions that I heard the frequency of student self-assessment varied greatly. Some spoke of having students do them frequently- informally after a lesson or at the end of the day. Have students use tech to do a short video to self asses. #bcedchat

  • nico1e Jan 20 @ 10:17 PM EST
    A2 I think I have less anxiety about Core Competencies - more faith that they are embedded in our ways of being & in our methodologies. Last year I was teaching frimm sciences & this year frimm socials so I still haven't figured out what using them looks like for me yet #bcedchat

  • MadelynFlood_ Jan 20 @ 10:17 PM EST
    Q2: A2: Last year I enjoyed that they were a part of the curriculum and felt they were important "common sense daily skills" all kids should have. I would occasionally ask Ss which they used. This year, I am being more conscious to have Ss weekly assess and document. #bcedchat

  • stellafleming23 Jan 20 @ 10:17 PM EST
    A2: Using them way more naturally and easily than when they first came out. Listening to ss closely in order for them to increase their ability to self-assess. Stepping out of the way more. Asking them for ideas as to how they can show self-assessment of cc. #bcedchat

  • jnovakowski38 Jan 20 @ 10:33 PM EST
    The Core Competencies are there - in every grade and every course. Yes, I agree that we may need to make the connections more explicit for ourselves and our students. For example, there is so much creative thinking in math but students may not see it that way! #bcedchat
    • mmedevries Jan 20 @ 10:32 PM EST
      I think sometimes it might start with just looking to see where in "x course" we might ask students to "think creatively" and then reminding them of it. It is a neat chance to notice the kinds of thinking and "human-work" we do.

    If my grade 9s are learning about socio-political revolution we could use the CCs as a type of analytical framework. Was Marie Antoinette socially &/or personally responsible? Why or why not? What are causes of responsibility? What are consequences of irresponsibility? #bcedchat
  • msyehuang Jan 20 @ 10:35 PM EST
    I really think that the cross-curricular piece is important! CCs can also be in non-curricular areas too. At my schl we conducted grade 8 year-end interviews for Ss to reflect on CCs using artifacts. Many of them are not from classes. #bcedchat

    I agree with you Justin, I meant more that we could see how everyone is 'chipping in' to the whole. Like reinforcing all of the CCs from many angles, together. I know I would get a lot of ideas from seeing how they are doing it, too. #bcedchat

  • jnovakowski38 Jan 20 @ 10:47 PM EST
    There are lots of connections - once students know what the CCs are and why they are important, they will also start to notice and name them in math. I consider what opportunities I can provide to nurture the awareness and development of the CCs when teaching math. #bcedchat
    In reply to @MadelynFlood_
  • HarMath Jan 20 @ 10:47 PM EST
    #bcedchat A6: in math, communication is found in the clarity of solution presentations, in math reasoning during math or fraction talks, during problem solving situations and even in telling the story of a problem solving <-- creativity might also show up in these.

    A6. Curricular Competency from Math 8. “Use reasoning and logic to explore, analyze, and apply mathematical ideas.” Subject specific. The Core Competency connection is Critical Thinking (analyze and critique). One is embedded in the other. Content provides context. #bcedchat

    I have a couple bins that are my “readable by anyone” comics and I rotate through those irregularly (usually when someone asks if I have more because they’ve gone through them all - not necessarily read them all as it’s an eclectic mix) #bcedchat but I am a believer in comics!

    My students identified communication too. I often have them work together to solve problems. #bcedchat

    #bcedchat So who are the 'we'? Hopefully teachers together or teachers/parents together then staff will be more enabled to develop them with their students as the ideal 'we'.

      #bcedchat A8: We need to create tools to capture reflections that are meaningful to students. No checklists.
