  • teachermrskhan Jun 10 @ 10:08 PM EDT
    A1 I believe I understand them pretty well. I have presented to parents and staff about them. As well, I have a teaching load so I need to keep up on them. #bcedchat
  • stellafleming23 Jun 10 @ 10:08 PM EDT
    A1: Good understanding. I like that as teachers we can experiment and do our own thing with it. #bcedchat
  • brynmw Jun 10 @ 10:08 PM EDT
    A1: As we go deeper with the #corecompetencies I have a greater understanding on how these competencies have always been part of our teaching and how they continue to create social and global competencies in our students. #bcedchat
  • MichaelHunsing1 Jun 10 @ 10:09 PM EDT

    A1 to me they are the key skills learners need in order to use the facts in a meaningful (not merely a memorizational way)#bcedchat
  • LisaRead Jun 10 @ 10:09 PM EDT
    A1 I Thinking understanding of core comps is growing-- but I think it's still pretty surface in most places #bcedchat
  • ChristineYH Jun 10 @ 10:09 PM EDT
    A1. I am getting there. I love playing with #corecompetencies with my SFU Undergraduate Students / Pre-Service Teachers. Learning by doing. It just gets better over time. #bcedchat
  • CarrieAntoniazz Jun 10 @ 10:10 PM EDT
    A1: I understand the #corecompetencies pretty well, and have tried to incorporate them through the year. Doing our year end self-evaluations and I feel the students seem to know them well too. But, I know there are lots of things I need to improve on! #bcedchat
  • KylaLCameron Jun 10 @ 10:10 PM EDT
    A1 In large part due to the sharing that has happened on prior #bcedchat s and also the Richmond conference, I am pretty comfortable with #corecompetencies and have been using them frequently in my classroom. #bcedchat
  • Teachinginthe21 Jun 10 @ 10:10 PM EDT
    Fascinating, which Uni, Michael? and welcome! What’s at the core of the tech class? #bcedchat

    A1 i think a lot of school are moving in the triangulation model of learning towards process rather than products #bcedchat
  • msyehuang Jun 10 @ 10:11 PM EDT
    A1: Good understanding. And we have been doing it just now we need to make it more explicit to Ss? So that they can better reflect their learning. #bcedchat
  • ChristineYH Jun 10 @ 10:11 PM EDT
    I love that. Growing competence with the #corecompetencies. Makes sense to me. #meta #bcedchat
  • Teachinginthe21 Jun 10 @ 10:11 PM EDT
    I enjoyed reading over the year-end self-evaluations, a lot of considerate, thought out responses. They have been shared with parents already and I received a lot of positive feedback from Ps enjoying reading about how their children are self-assessing their learning. #bcedchat
    In reply to @CarrieAntoniazz
  • teachermrskhan Jun 10 @ 10:11 PM EDT
    A1 If I use the proficiency scales we use in Surrey, I think I’m proficient! 😉 #bcedchat
  • ChristineYH Jun 10 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    Absolutely. Let's be EXPLICIT with the #corecompetencies. What is it and how do we self-assess them? Model what we hope for and expect. #bcedchat
    • msyehuang Jun 10 @ 10:11 PM EDT

    Hi Kenneth... Welcome back to #bcedchat. I am so glad that many of us are feeling more comfortable with the #corecompetencies. What's next for you on this?

    A2 I am exploring the learning journals at the high school level and I comment on the skills they are demonstrating #bcedchat
  • kerisavoca Jun 10 @ 10:15 PM EDT
    A1: I feel the same - proficient, but still have room to grow. #bcedchat
  • teachermrskhan Jun 10 @ 10:15 PM EDT
    A2 I think a continuous student self reflection is a next level focus. We had to start with us understanding them first. So the level of student reflections varies, but we have a long way to go. #bcedchat
  • ChristineYH Jun 10 @ 10:15 PM EDT
    A2. In my #EDUC454E100 class... I'm hoping for every class... that's once a week. #bcedchat

      Q2: How often are students self-assessing their core competencies in your class or classes? #bcedchat
  • Teachinginthe21 Jun 10 @ 10:15 PM EDT
    I typically tried having students self-assess at the end of each term, with one final self-assessment for reporting. Seemed to work well with pacing but also helped students focus on different competencies at different times in the year! #bcedchat
    • ChristineYH Jun 10 @ 10:12 PM EDT

    I really like it too! The #corecompetencies interviews went really well. It was nice for us to meet Ss we don't teach and hear their stories too. #bcedchat
    In reply to @brynmw, @ChristineYH
  • stellafleming23 Jun 10 @ 10:16 PM EDT
    A2: When they want to. Ss often come up to me to ask for a photo to be taken and then self-assess using cc language. They have had a whole year of hearing, seeing and using the language associated with cc. #bcedchat

    It is a great way to connect their learning in a more personal way and a reflection to their learning of the curriculum competencies with the #corecompetencies #bcedchat

  • technolandy Jun 10 @ 10:16 PM EDT
    A2 my kiddos did a self-reflection “fill in the ranking” but didn’t like all the reading - got some better ideas (including some “competency cards” to put with samples of student work in their efolios!) #bcedchat
  • Teachinginthe21 Jun 10 @ 10:17 PM EDT
    Q3 is up… How are students self-assessing their core competencies? What are they learning from this assessment? #bcedchat
  • kerisavoca Jun 10 @ 10:17 PM EDT
    A2: Students are self-assessing daily, both formally and informally, but not always about their core competencies. In order for self-assessment to be meaningful, they need to have a firm grasp on what exactly they are assessing. #bcedchat #goals

    Hey #bcedchat! Liz from sd43 here jumping in late and cooking dinner at the same time!
  • ChristineYH Jun 10 @ 10:18 PM EDT
    Agreed. Continuous student self-assessment. This would be awesome. Honing the skill becomes second nature. Then we can report out our most notable #corecompetencies at the end of the school year. Ideal. #bcedchat
    • teachermrskhan Jun 10 @ 10:15 PM EDT
      A2 I think a continuous student self reflection is a next level focus. We had to start with us understanding them first. So the level of student reflections varies, but we have a long way to go. #bcedchat

    Yes! That would be wonderful! Right now we are immersed in it as we are ending the year. Some students are having difficulty as they have not practiced this skill all year. #bcedchat
    In reply to @JenniferWalke10
  • brynmw Jun 10 @ 10:19 PM EDT
    A3: In my school, the assessments of the #corecompetencies is ongoing and consistent. Happens all the time, throughout the lessons and support. Again, all about the reflection of learning and improving their process of learning. #bcedchat
  • lizbellteacher Jun 10 @ 10:19 PM EDT
    A1. I think that I have a pretty good understanding, of them, but A2. I still need to work on bringing them into my classroom on a regular basis! #bcedchat
  • KennethHeadley - Moderator Jun 10 @ 10:19 PM EDT
    Q3: I feel in my experiences that many some HS teachers are doing it as a one off, unit end reflection- I want to push it to be more active in everyday activities, thinking and learning. I need to help my teachers notice, name and nurture the CC in their assignments #bcedchat
  • PassionateEduc1 Jun 10 @ 10:19 PM EDT
    A2: most teachers in my school are waiting until the end of the year to reflect. #bcedchat

  • ChristineYH Jun 10 @ 10:19 PM EDT
    Interesting. In my #EDUC454E100 class, we've been playing with the single point rubric and I CAN statements... hope to get to evidence as to why we self-assess one way or the other. #bcedchat

    Yes! It should be daily reflection of their learning. It happens in every class and we need to name it and create those opportunities to make sure that our students are involved in their own learning. #bcedchat
    In reply to @KennethHeadley
  • RosePillay1 Jun 10 @ 10:21 PM EDT
    @ChristineYH reason why I say "pioneer" is because of the words of @sjeroski re "doing different" wrt #corecompetencies #bcedchat
  • ChristineYH Jun 10 @ 10:21 PM EDT
    A3. Right now in my #EDUC454E100 class, we are approaching the #corecompetencies verbally collectively. I'd like to take it to #bigthinkingclassrooms and co-compose CC's to self-assess. #bcedchat

    One of my brilliant primary colleagues has “squares” with descriptors of each competency - when it’s a good time to archive some learning, kids can choose which competency(ies) they feel they used! #bcedchat
    In reply to @teachrecklessly
  • kerisavoca Jun 10 @ 10:21 PM EDT
    A3: I've been experimenting with a variety of self-assessment tools... the biggest goal is for students to learn something from the process and to be proud of that process even if they are not proud of the end result. #bcedchat

  • MichaelHunsing1 Jun 10 @ 10:24 PM EDT
    A lot of this sounds like the same discussion we have in my district. Working on self-assessing so that the students begin to just do this naturally. We start at the Kindergarten level. By the time they get to 5th grade, they just reflect/assess nat. #bcedchat #edu5213SBU

    Great question- I do document daily reflection in a personal journal that allows me to go back and question my interactions, experiences, and lessons for the day- nonetheless- I do not report on those---We also do growth plans and I embedded mine this year in the CC's #bcedchat

    We just piloted this yr so it was more like a one-day event for grade 8/9 Ss to reflect on their learning of #corecompetencies w/ artifacts. Ideally this should be done more often in classrooms. But the whole school staff was involved, and it went really well #bcedchat
    In reply to @ChristineYH
  • kerisavoca Jun 10 @ 10:27 PM EDT
    A4: We don't have the freedom to modify the report card template or even to put custom comments, so I make sure reflections are shared with families - without my feedback - so that students are sharing their thoughts directly with their families. #bcedchat

    I am hopeful. There is HUGE value in the #corecompetencies at K-7, high school, and higher ED. I would even push the envelope to ourselves, the adults in education. It's a HUGE mindshift that will help all of us value us as learners and the process of learning. #bcedchat

    A4. I don't LOVE it, but I (with input from a team) made a template for students to reflect on the CC's in their classes for 1-2 days, then they'll create a reflection in homeroom. Whole thing will be sent home w/ report cards. #bcedchat

    The follow-through is the most important. If you ask 34 kids to self-assess, you'll get 34 different responses citing 34 different goals, and if you don't find a way to make it real, they won't see a value in continuing to participate in ungraded self-assessments. #bcedchat

    Can’t like this enough. When we “embed” the CCs by simply looking at the units we’ve taught for the last 10 years and pointing out where the CCs live in them, I think we are missing the boat. CC growth happens in a more meaningful way when CCs truly drive planning. #bcedchat

      I’ve been wrestling with Core C lately because a bunch of my recent reading/research suggests that we can’t develop core outside of disciplines(curricular). Can you give me an example of how a kid might developing core outside of a topic/subject/domain? Trying to figure it out!

    Q8: What do you hope to do next with student self-assessment of the core competencies? What do you hope to do for next year? #bcedchat

    I love the idea of experimenting and playing. Sometimes in education playing is not seen as worthwhile. My thought is that playing is what learning is all about. Creativity, problem solving, critical thinking. WOW! #bcedchat #edu5213SBU

    I have a student who is a ref for soccer: in that context he worked on and became really good at communication, personal awareness and critical thinking - it took him most of this school year to apply any of those to his curricular competencies. #bcedchat

    A8. I would love self-assessment of the #corecompetencies to be a K-12 cultural norm. That is my want and desire. I would love to include #bigthinkingclassrooms. For it to be ongoing and continuous. That would be my goal. Make learning visible and explicit for all. #bcedchat

    A8: Going to think about this over the summer. Also want to ask my class this question this week and see what they say. #bcedchat

    #bcedchat A8: I would like to embed core comps in all lessons that I do in classrooms. This may help others to see how the core comps could be a part of day to day life in the classroom.

    Not competencies AND subjuects, but interconnected & talk about the connections (as I do when I get groans as I connect math to language arts...) acknlowedging all the competencies we do (better) each day - and naming them #bcedchat

    Where I get stuck is that everything I've read from cognitive science/pychology/study of expertise, is that critical thinking and reasoning are deeply tied to how we organize and apply background knowledge in a domain. #bcedchat

    A8. Next year: bringing more of my colleagues into the fold! More CC's! More self-assessment! More embedding in all interactions! Bwa ha ha! #bcedchat

    To the point where there are countless studies where high level chess players aren't even good at checkers. Their reasoning in one game is all about patterns. Doesn't transfer to a really similar context. #bcedchat
