Ceramics CC Reflection

Journal Cover Project

“My cultural background/upbringing contributes to who I am as a artist in that…”

This competency accurately represents my expression of identity in this piece. I incorporated aspects of my childhood (‘upbringing’) and my favourite memories as well as my hobbies in order to create this reflection of myself. It is very much focused on the idea of maximalism, which is seen through the colours, textures, and personal connections. To make this, I emphasized my background and upbringing to make it more unique. The flags at the top show my family’s orgins, the patchwork represents my love of sewing, and the trees with the kids symbolize my sister and I when we were little. These are all scraps of me put together to create this piece of my identity.

CLE 10 Final Reflection

By

I think My Career Report is my best work for a number of reasons. Firstly, I completed it as in-depth as I could, considering angles such as what I want to pursue, my personal thoughts, opinions, and experiences, as well as schools that interested me. This project gave me a look into the paths I could take based off of what I wanted to pursue post-secondary. During this project, I was met with several obstacles such as not getting enough information or not being able to find accurate information on a course/school. I got past this by working extra outside of school and getting an extension so I could do my best and most thorough work. Overall, I’m really happy with how this report came together.

My Takeaways

My few biggest takeaways from CLE 10 would have to be the skills to navigate post-secondary options, knowing where to access resources to find information, and making connections that could help me in the future (e.g. with my career). There are so many things that helped me gain an understanding of my options, which is a really valuable takeaway for me because I think a lot about what I want to do post-secondary, with my career, and in life. Some of the most helpful assignments for me would be my Career Report, my resume, the career interview, and the mock interview. In the future, I know I am able to review and seek assistance from teachers and family members to help me make decisions about the future, and that is a really valuable takeaway for me.

Core Competency Reflection

“I can reflect on my strengths and identify my potential as a leaders in my community”

There are several ways in which my learning resonated with this statement. For one thing, we made a point of always reflecting on our learning in this class, and I was able to reflect on my strengths through goal-setting and personal reflection. I showed some leadership in this course and tried my best in all of my work. I demonstrated deep thinking and tried to go above and beyond in all assignments/projects. In this course, I am proud how much effort I put into my learning and I think that reflected in my work and grades.

Core Competency Self-Reflection- Leadership

By

Critical and Reflective Thinking

A leadership quality I possess would be my organizational abilities. I am good at managing my time wisely and distributing jobs to group members to effectively execute the task at hand. It helps me to not only lead and assist others in a collaborative environment, but also to schedule my own life in a way that allows me to get everything done. For example, almost daily I make to-do lists for myself to stick to so that I can be more efficient.

A leadership skill that I possess would be communication. I demonstrate this by collaborating with other members in a group and presenting my ideas clearly. I can give instructions and tasks to others to complete the task efficiently, and I can do so in an encouraging way. In addition to this, I am good at updating and touching base with others. For example, to remind people of an upcoming event or if I need clarification (really anything to make the collaboration process smoother), I often will send out an email or text to stay in touch with group members.

By the end of this course, a leadership quality I’d like to possess would be demonstration of flexibility. Often, I strongly prefer to have a set schedule that I can follow, mainly because that ties into my organizational quality. It is easier for me to just know what we’re doing and stick to that. I think it would be beneficial for me as a leader to be able to adapt a little more and let go of control when needed. I should also accept that even though my idea may be the best one in my view, it is sometimes necessary to be open to new ideas. If I can achieve a more open point of view, then it will be a positive thing for my leadership journey.

A leadership skill I hope to obtain would be delegation. Not so much in the sense of carrying out the act of delegating tasks to group members, but rather the trust within that itself. What I mean by this is trusting other group members to follow through. I like to be in control and take care of things myself, that way it is a guarantee that things get done. I would love to improve in this category so that the collaborative process of ideas, work and progress lets me let go of some responsibility, which shows my compatibility and trust with others. Overall, I want to improve my delegation, trust, and collaboration skills.

I can encourage others to share their voice and value diverse perspectives…

I can encourage others to share their voice by being a reliable and respectful group member. For me, when someone is supportive and kind to me that motivates me to share more of my ideas in-depth or share things that maybe I wouldn’t before. If I can channel that as a leader, it will cause others to want to share their perspective a little bit more. I think my ability to encourage and uplift others is good, but there is always room for improvement. This year in leadership, I can keep this in mind when meeting others and encouraging them to share their thoughts/opinions in order to grow and improve.

Core Competency Reflection

“I can identify my strengths and limits, find internal motivation, and act on opportunities for self-growth.”

In this assignment, I found my motivation by wanting to expand my knowledge about graphs in preparation for the unit test. I found it helpful to ask for help with my polygraph vocabulary so I could bring a deeper understanding to what I was talking about.
