Curricular and Core Competency Self Reflection

Core Competency Reflection

Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in the presentation done in class where I am able to elaborate and give further detail towards my presentation. I am clear on the difference between simple “group work” and collaboration as evidenced by my Volcano project where everyone collaborated together and my group had to work around another group member being away. One strategy or activity that stimulates my imagination is thinking of a scary movie or show I used to watch as a kid called “Goosebumps” and the creator of the series inspires me to think creatively. Some of the ways I work to build and maintain relationships are by acting very outgoing and adventurous and trying to make people laugh though it doesn’t work sometimes it still establishes connection and help find common interests.

how do my goals align with my strength

Weightlifting and football are closely aligned in terms of their physical demands. Both require a great deal of strength, power, and explosiveness, as well as endurance and agility. In football, players need to be able to quickly change direction, accelerate and decelerate, and maintain their balance and stability in contact situations. Weightlifting helps to develop the muscular and neuromuscular adaptations necessary to meet these demands, as well as improving bone density, joint stability, and overall physical robustness. Additionally, weightlifting can help to reduce the risk of injury and aid in injury recovery, making it a valuable tool for football players who want to perform at their best and stay healthy. As such, weightlifting is often incorporated into football training programs as a way to enhance performance and reduce the risk of injury.

Learning to play the guitar can actually be a helpful tool for achieving academic success in a subject like social studies. Playing the guitar can improve cognitive skills such as memory, attention, and problem-solving, which are all important for academic success. It can also serve as a stress-reliever, allowing for better focus and concentration while studying or completing assignments. Furthermore, music is often deeply connected to historical and cultural contexts, which can help students to better understand and appreciate the topics covered in social studies. By exploring the historical and cultural origins of different musical genres and their impact on society, students can gain a deeper understanding of the social, political, and economic factors that have shaped the world we live in today. Thus, playing guitar and studying music can be a helpful and enjoyable way to supplement social studies education and improve academic performance.

Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in the setting slides where I didn’t use points a made a story that connects to the audience. I respectfully advocate for my needs by asking the teacher for help when I needed it. I seek, develop and weigh options as demonstrated by looking for the best information and the most trustable sites.
