Core Competencies Student Self-Assessment & Reflection

The Ministry of Education has redesigned the curriculum. Literacy and numeracy foundations along with four core competency areas are at the centre of the redesign. Core Competencies are sets of intellectual, personal, social, and emotional proficiencies that all students need to develop to engage in deep learning and lifelong learning. Self-assessment is a valued part of the curriculum and offers all students the opportunity to gain insights about themselves, the learning process, and to take greater ownership of their learning.

The aim of the Core Competency-Self Assessment & Reflection is to provide a guide to help students over time to:

·      Gain the ability to assess their own strengths

·      Create realistic and achievable goals

·      Construct a clear path to reach their goals

·      Provide examples and evidence of their learning

·      Re-visit previous documentation of self-assessments to monitor their growth
