My overall experience with learning First people 12. The course had me using my three-core main competencies. During the semester I was tasked with doing assignments needing me to communicate my understanding on chapter for every unit. In assignments like journals i am always communicating my opinion on a topic consistently. Topic such as First nations voices, presentations, and reflecting on a question. This helps me go deeper into my thoughts and all together deepen my way of communicating. My next competencies are Thinking. All through the semester I had to problem solve to find information on topics. Another time I used my thinking competencies I believe the most was when working in groups during the semester. In every group we had to answer the following set of questions as a group we each read and relayed the information to each other. That we can write on the board and present to help everyone in the class gain knowledge of our subject. In the end we can all understand our task more. The last competencies are personal and social, in the classroom, and this also applies to the school. I needed to provide a safe workplace for everyone around me. To do this, I tried to be quiet and respectful to my peers. Additionally in class discussions everyone is given an equal chance to show their work to the class. That they don’t feel left out in the session cause if they are. Students will never know or understand what they are doing. So, it’s better to listen to one and other if someone doesn’t understand something. Me or a peer can guide them in a direction to know what they are doing. All three of these competencies are a staple in the school system for a reason. They’re very crucial and how was are as humans. When we graduate, we can think, communicate, and have a good personal and social presence. To live to all full potential because that is what its all about in the end.
