Using feedback to improve. Effectively being able to accept feedback and choosing to improve/ act on it is a critical part of learning. It starts with recognizing that your not your best right now and knowing theirs room for improvement. A big part invlolves discovering and identifying the issue. You take the feedback and create solution, ways to help improve yourself and get better. The next step is making a plan and committing to the plan of action. It helps a lot if this person who gives you feedback has positive things to say as well not just negative. For me it was when Mr. Sutherland helped me with english in LEC. His feedback taught me new ways to find solutions to help me be successful.

“I can identify ways in which my strengths can help me meet challenges, and how my challenges can be opportunities for growth.” This statement touches on using feedback to improve every challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow. You are identifying that you have strengths and weaknesses and choosing to improve on your weaknesses. You use these tools to help you be more successful when you face challenges in the future.

I did the projectile catapult project with a partner. me and my partner made a catapult that had to land in a box that we taped together and not bounce out. We got 8-9 meteres, this project demonstrated the core competencies of communication, collaboration and creative thinking. Communication because I had to communicate with m partner to complete the project together. Collaboration because I worked with a partner and creative thinking because we had to make a catapult out of select materials and make a minimum distance requirement.
