What did you know about the Core Competencies before this activity? What did you learn? Before this activity I knew about the six different categories and what they were all called. I mostly had a good understanding of critical and creative thinking, because in most of my reflections on projects I use these two categories the most. I knew what the core competencies are and how they all help with different ideas, but something that I learned from this activity is how the core competencies can relate not only to projects and ideas but to people and what they have done.
How can your knowledge of the Core Competencies help you in your school life? Personal life? It can help with school life because the core competencies can be used in different ways to demonstrate ideas through projects, presentations etc. Some projects might demonstrate creative thinking and others might demonstrate communication. It can help with your personal life because when you go to a job interview or are applying to get into a university, you will need to be able to demonstrate all six core competencies to show that you know what you’re doing and to show that you would be good student/employee. It is always good to have these useful skills for whatever you want to do in life, because chances are you will probably have to use the core competencies at some point either in a job, at school, or just in your own life.
