Tech Leadership Final Reflection

My artifact: This is a page of the Centennial course planning site that I worked on with a group of tech leaders.

Curricular Competencies Reflection

“Work collaboratively with others in a leadership group in order to positively influence the Centennial community .”

I demonstrated this competency when working on this project because of all the collaboration I was involved in to update the course planning website before course planning opened for the year. I did this by attending meetings and work parties to discuss ideas with others and organize what duties I could take on. As a group, we added new courses and descriptions to the website, added new images and videos (like the video I embedded for the Foundations of Inquiry course), and made the website more accurate, detailed, and functional.

Core Competencies Reflection – Personal/Social

“I can participate in group activities that improve the class, school, or community.”

I grew in this competency by spending a lot of time in groups, working with other tech leaders and teachers to improve and change the website. I volunteered time to work on this job to help the school community and get the website as good and accessible for other students as we could. I communicated with leaders that had done this last year whenever I had a question about the website, as well as contacted teachers to confirm course information and get their classes displayed as nicely as possible. I used the Divi builder on the edublog website to make changes and was responsible in my time management skills throughout the course of multiple weeks.

Research Assignment Reflection

Communication Core Competency

“I work with others to achieve a goal.”

For this assignment, me and my group had to create a survey asking other students the best possible questions to collect data for our hypothesis. We were all communicating with each other, (suggesting things and asking each other questions), and everyone’s ideas made it into the survey. It was a group effort and together we completed the assignment.

Personal/Social Core Competency

“I demonstrate respectful, inclusive behaviour.”

While working in this group, I was always actively listening to my partners when they were speaking. I respected all of their ideas and contributions. I did my part in the project and was grateful for the work they did as well.

Thinking Core Competency

“I can analyze evidence to make judgements.”

A large part of this project was the reflection was examining the responses we got. We calculated the mean, mode, median, standard deviation, and correlation coefficient of the survey results. I was able to look at this data and determine what we found out, and how it compared to our hypothesis.

Social Studies 10 Reflection

Demography Project

Socials Reflection

I used Personal and Social core competencies when creating this presentation on Italy’s population and developments by researching Italy’s culture, being aware of their country’s differences and similarities to Canada, and using my social responsibility to recommend steps they take in the future to decrease two of their main issues.

Core Competencies: CLE 10

I give, receive, and act on constructive feedback. 

When creating my resume, I went over it multiple times with my teacher before the final copy was made and handed in. We discussed formatting, wording, and a bunch of ways to improve it overall. I made many changes to it after getting feedback, which led to the final product. The resume now looks neat, professional, and the information is concise and useful.  

Who I Am Presentation

I can plan ways to make my message clear and engaging for my audience and create communications that focus on a variety of purposes and audiences. 

When creating this “Who I Am” presentation to share with the class, my main goal was to make it interesting and fun for the audience, my classmates. I used a variety of different ways of showing information, including using images to enhance my ideas. I included lots of text in my PowerPoint but didn’t read it verbatim; I summarized my key points. I read it in a natural and confident voice and answered my peers’ questions at the end. 

Podcast Review Poster

I can describe how some specific choices can affect my well-being and participate in activities that support my well-being. 

For this assignment, we had to listen to and review a podcast related to the goal we set. Since my goal was to get up earlier/get to school on time, I chose a podcast about sleeping and how to relax at night. This benefitted me because it not only helped the goal I set for an assignment, but it actually helped with my health. 

Math Self Assessment

“What is your strength in group work? How do you use this to actively contribute during group work activities?”

My strength in group work is that I can be both a listener and a leader. I always listen to my group members, watch when they’re solving questions, and ask questions when there’s things I don’t understand or am not sure about. When I am doing questions, I explain my steps as I’m doing them and make sure that my group members understand what I’m doing. I also answer any questions they have.

“What does it mean to be disciplined in math? How do you show you are disciplined in this course?”

To me, being disciplined is being consistent. Showing up to class every day prepared to learn, and doing the homework daily after school is how I can understand all the concepts. I also take the self-initiative to do extra homework questions in the book when I’m not confident in that topic yet and to refer back to the notes posted on teams when I need to.
