SCHOOL 2.0 For the first time in history, we’re preparing kids for a future that we cannot clearly describe.

It is no longer only about what students KNOW…it is about their level of UNDERSTANDING and what they DO with what they know.

3 Minute Table Discussions What skills/values do your kids need to prepare them for life after graduation and to be productive citizens of society?

Core Competencies are at the center of the curriculum redesign in BC. Core Competencies are sets of intellectual, personal, and social and emotional proficiencies that all students need to develop in order to engage in deeper learning. The Core Competencies include thinking, communication, and social and personal competencies. Thinking Creative Thinking Critical Thinking Reflective Thinking Communication Personal and Social Positive Personal/Cultural Identity Personal Awareness and Responsibility Social Awareness and Responsibility Competencies are embedded and evident within the learning standards. They come into play when students are engaged in “doing” in any area of learning. Together, the literacy and numeracy foundations, essential learning, and Core Competencies contribute to the development of educated citizens. Core Competencies
