The Core Competencies
Demonstrate the skills and knowledge that you have acquired that are transferable as you transition from high school. All students have been provided with an opportunity (during your X-Blocks) to investigate, demonstrate and reflect on how we are using the Core Competencies in our daily life here at KSS. Please use any of these assignments and/or any new experiences to reflect upon and/or demonstrate your Core Competency abilities.
If you have not completed the core competencies or if you would like to use the KSS Core Competency resourse, please use this google document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rAtjc4Btsf-kiEqTLf7DmaqbbBefDoav4VjKuet8Fuk/edit?usp=sharing |

Core CompetenciesThe core competencies along with literacy and numeracy foundations and essential content and concepts are at the centre of the redesign of curriculum and assessment. Core competencies are sets of intellectual, personal, and social and emotional proficiencies that all students need to develop in order to engage in deep learning and life-long learning. Through provincial consultation, three core competencies were identified.
- Communication -The communication competency encompasses the set of abilities that students use to impart and exchange information, experiences and ideas, to explore the world around them, and to understand and effectively engage in the use of digital media.
View the Communication Profiles and Illustrations » - Thinking - The thinking competency encompasses the knowledge, skills and processes we associate with intellectual development. It is through their competency as thinkers that students take subject-specific concepts and content and transform them into a new understanding. Thinking competence includes specific thinking skills as well as habits of mind, and metacognitive awareness.
- Personal and Social - Personal and social competency is the set of abilities that relate to students' identity in the world, both as individuals and as members of their community and society. Personal and social competency encompasses the abilities students need to thrive as individuals, to understand and care about themselves and others, and to find and achieve their purposes in the world.
