The supply and demand project that I have completed in this course has allowed me to effectively demonstrate various core competencies. Successful communication is an integral part of the project. I was able to do so by keeping in mind how others would view my work and make sure that the information came across as informative and understandable. The information that I shared was also communicated through the method of presentation. The infographic format allowed me to communicate ideas and concepts in a way that is easy to understand. The project also helped me to show my creative thinking. Throughout the project, I made sure to use the existing knowledge that I had to expand on it and apply it in other ways. Creative thinking helped me to create and present ideas in an innovative way to make my project fresh. I did so by using the complex ideas and concepts and transforming them into presentable points to use in the project. Also, the ability to make connections to personal and social responsibility is a concept that is intertwined throughout the project. Using the concepts to show how our own decisions and actions affect the economy as well as see how those decisions are affected by others is important material that was discussed. Examining action and reaction relationships between consumers and producers was an idea that I was able to explain. The responsibility that we all have to make our own decisions based on situations that we are in was also an important idea.

Core Competency Goals
Based on the three core competencies, I have set three goals for myself. One goal that I have is to have more creative and insightful ideas. I can achieve this goal by working with my peers to refine and stimulate my thinking, which helps me get new ideas. Another goal that I have is to grow in my teaching skills. I chose this goal because I often find myself understanding material well, but not well enough to teach others about it. One thing that I am doing to work towards this goal is being understanding of the people that I am helping. This helps my work towards my goal because when I am able to put myself in the position of others, I am more equipped to teach new topics to them. The final goal that I have set for myself is to express my learning in more creative ways. This is a good goal because creativity is an aspect that I have to work on and it will further grow my skillset and learning. I can achieve this goal by taking inspiration from new ways to show one’s work, and adapting it to have my own creative spin on my presentation. In conclusion, these three goals will help me grow towards being a more creative and effective teacher.
Core Competency Self-Assessment
Social Awareness & Responsibility in CLE 10
I demonstrated that I can appreciate diverse perspectives on issues and can resolve problems respectfully and effectively. This artifact was a poster for a group presentation where we shared our answers to questions about phone habits. This is an example of the core competency because I was able to listen respectfully to other perspectives and combine them into a concise answer. I learned that many people have different perspectives on phone habits. I can apply this skill in everyday life because it is important that I am able to listen to different perspectives and convey them in a concise and presentable manner. This skill is also beneficial for daily life because there are a lot of takes on world issues and because I am able to listen to different perspectives and pick out the key information, I am able to form an educated opinion.
Creating a Positive Digital Footprint
Personal/Social Competency Reflection
After researching digital footprints, there are three ways that I can apply this information in my life. I know that my digital footprint can have both negative and positive impacts, such as hindering my chances of landing a job. Therefore, I adjust my actions on the internet by thinking before I post and reflecting on whether or not I would want certain people to view certain material. I also make ethical digital choices such as being positive and upbuilding online, so as to leave a positive impact online. Some of my preferred strategies to make sure that I am leaving a positive impact online is to reflect on how it will affect others and how I would feel if I was on the other end of the screen. Chances are, if I would feel offended, the receiver of my comments or posts online would also, so I keep those comments to myself. When I maintain a positive digital footprint, I feel good because I know I am having a positive effect on others and contributing to the community.
