Core Competency Reflection

In discussions and conversations, I help to build and extend understanding by listening to my peers when working together. Different ideas come from different people so when I listen to others in my group, I was able to pick up different perspectives and views that I hadn’t though about. I then pitch my thoughts in and as we collaborate together, we learn more.

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I take a break from what I am doing and do something that I enjoy. For example, when I need a break from studying, I get up to grab a snack and watch some YouTube for a bit to give my brain a break. I find this useful as I am then able to go back to whatever I was doing with a positive mindset.

I notice when people feel left out so I ask for their thoughts to make sure they feel included. For example, if I am in a group conversation or project and I see someone in my group who isn’t being included, I ask for their opinion. This usually makes them feel like joining in and makes them feel included. I do this whenever I notice someone in that situation.

One Goal

Some things I think about before dividing tasks among group members include…

I need to work on making sure everyone knows what their task is before they go on to do it. Some people are too shy to say anything so I need to focus on making sure everyone feels comfortable with what their task is. I usually look past what other people might think so I need to better on the part. That is my goal.

Core Competency Self-Assessment

Critical and Reflective Thinking

Should our criminal justice system be more punitive or rehabilitative? Why?

Our criminal justice system should be more punitive. I notice a lot of people are getting getting charges dropped or sentences lowered for serious crimes.

I can analyze evidence to make judgements. I can gather evidence to find the facts of a certain scenario or case.

Me and Nolan’s Button Activity

We used critical thinking to classify and separate buttons according to different characteristics. Nolan and I used our time wisely and came in early to finish the activity. I learned about the importance of classifying in Biology and how to be patient as this activity took a while to complete. In order to complete this activity, I had to use critical thinking.
