We are having discussions about how to implement the new BC curriculum in our school here in China. I am particularly working on the Career Life Education Course Workbook in cooperation with the course writer.
Our first meeting was an introduction to the core competencies and the purpose of them in BC.
Core Competency-The sets of intellectual, social, emotional, and personal expectations that students are striving to master or utilize to engage in deeper learning.
Core Competencies:
1 . Communication--> The manner in which students can communicate with others and the world in their explorations as learners
2.;3. Thinking; Creative Thinking/Critical Thinking--> An understanding and awareness that a student has about their own cognition; this also encompasses abilities and that can demonstrate intellectual development; most importantly though students need to transfer the skills from area to another area of life or the curriculum.
4.;5.;6. Personal and Social; Positive Personal & Cultural Identity/Personal Awareness and Responsibility/Social Responsibility-->how students relate to society and their understanding of themselves; student's understanding of themselves and society in a way that allows them to devise a plan for or even find their purpose in the world.
This is a brief and summarized understanding of the core competencies. The next bit of discussion to come will be the Goals of the Competencies, etc.
