Student Self-assessment of Core Competencies, Elementary

Core competencies are an integral part of the new curriculum.  In the 2018-19 school year, all K-10 students are required to complete a self-assessment of their core competencies to attach to the final summative report. In order to do so, students will need ample opportunities to identify and talk about their competencies. Below are resources and samples, shared by Yukon and BC educators, that could be used to support student self-assessment.

Examples from Yukon Classrooms

Picture
Teacher provides a sample to the class.
Picture
My goal is to show respect, kindness and support to others. I might play ball with a friend.
Picture
The goals are displayed and used all week by using plastic sleeves attached to the wall.
A Yukon educator put some of the core competencies into student friendly language.  Every Monday, her class discusses a goal and possible ways to meet the goal.  Each student draws a picture to show how they might meet the goal.  An adult scribes for them.  In the photo above, the teacher provides a sample:
  • My goal is to show respect, kindness and support to others;
  • I will listen by looking at the teacher.
The class refers back to their goal during the week, then on Friday there is a discussion about the goal and students reflect upon how they reached it.  The class talks about the idea that it may not have happened in the way students envisioned; instead, students may have reached their goal in a different way.  Again, an adult scribes for them.

Supporting resources:
My goal is to use strategies to manage my emotions and feelings
My goal is to solve problems in a peaceful way and ask for help when I need it.
My goal is to show respect, kindness and support to others.

A Yukon primary teacher explains how he and his YNTEP intern began to support students in their self-assessment of the Critical Thinking core competency.  By assigning students as "Learning Detectives", they engaged the class in a fun way to reflect upon their critical thinking.
