Core Competency Self-Assessment

Collaborating in CLE 10

After I finished my resume, I had a couple of students read over my resume to make sure everything sounded and looked coherent and more importantly had no grammar mistakes. I listened to what constructive criticism they had given and applied it where I could. I applied the “I can work with others to achieve a goal” core competency in this assignment. I worked with two classmates to create a professionally written resume and to achieve a good mark. But it was not all smooth sailing, one student I collaborated with was one I have not talked to, making things at first a little bit awkward. But towards the end it became easier and easier, and I listened and applied the criticism given and, in the end, it worked out. I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and achieved a good mark.  

Core Competency Self-Assessment

Social Awareness and Responsibility CLE 10

Reflection

This artifact relates to the Social Awareness Core Competency because it helps our class get to know each other’s interests/future interests. Additionally, we presented this in class therefore, when I was not presenting but listening, I made sure to be supportive to make a more inclusive environment and to help build trust as a class. In this brochure, the assignment I demonstrated that I could interact with others and the environment respectfully and thoughtfully. I did this by first presenting in a non-aggressive manor making sure everyone could hear me, and after, I listened to their advice on how I could make it better. Secondly, when others were presenting, I made sure to be respectful and give them 110% of my attention. Afterwards, I gave the presenter constructive criticism that is useful without insulting him. To present our projects, we were split into groups of four. Once my group was done presenting, we made sure to keep quiet out of respect to the other groups around us. This helped create a better environment for the other groups to present. I can implement this core competency in the future when possibly placed in group projects in work, post-secondary school or even family get togethers. For example, if I must work in a group for a job, I can chip in and give suggestions to my colleague’s ideas or even input my own ideas in a respectful manor portraying my opinion in a way that only benefits my colleagues but doesn’t discourage them.
