Core Competencies

Self Determination 

I have demonstrated self-determination in Pre-Calculus class throughout this year. It is a very difficult class, and I must be responsible for my own learning. I have determination to try my best and achieve the best grade I can get in the class. No one else is going to make me work hard and succeed so I make myself do it. 

Developing Ideas 

In chemistry I must develop ideas creatively and problem solve. In many cases we are getting questions, and I must put different pieces together and solve it in a creative way. The way to the solution is not always the same and i must creatively develop ideas to solve the question. 

Connect and Engage with Others 

In socials this year I have had to do several group projects and work with a variety of different people. I have had to get out of my comfort zone and engage with people I might not normally talk with. In socials we must often talk with group and discuss questions, and this really connects me with my peers.  

 

Core comptences

Self-Regulating 

When I was taking a math test, I started it and was a bit lost on what I was doing. I did not know several answers and was beginning to get stressed out. Instead of letting my emotions take over, I tried to calm myself. I took a moment and relaxed and tried to just slowly think through everything. I eventually figured out the problems because i was calm. I regulated myself and my emotions so I could succeed on my math test. 

 

Share and developpe ideas 

When I was doing my creative project for French, me and my partner spent some time to find ideas. We had barely any constraints on what to do, so it was difficult to choose something. We simply talked and bounced ideas off on one and other and eventually decoded to make a music video. We both had good ideas and we both listened to each other, which resulted in a good project that we are proud of. 

 

Question and investigate 

When I got my math quiz back, I noticed a question that I had thought I got right, but my teacher had marked it wrong. At first, I just assumed that I was wrong since he knows more about math than me, but then when going through the quiz as a class he went over that question and got the same answer as me. From there I was a little confused and realized he had probably made a mistake. I went up to him and told him and asked if it was actually wrong. He said he had made a mistake and changed my mark.
