Core competency session was held yesterday.
This year core competencies sessions would be a bit different. according to Cindy Quach one of the English teachers and co-core competency leader “we’re going to focus on school goals and naming, noticing and naturing the core competencies because we all know that we all use the core competencies.”
Quach also added that” You can not function as human being if you don’t communicate, think, or connect to other people or think about yourself. So, core competencies are really crucial to our school and teachers. Kelly cooper one of the English teachers also added that how she feels about this program “I feel quite strongly about it, I am glad that we are doing this program because at the end of the day it’s a part of school that you are in charge of.” In the following she said” What core competency does is just make you aware that there are aspects of your life need attention more than letter grade for.”
Kelly cooper also added that the purpose on November22nd was to kind of adjust what is working well so far in this semester. And if you look ahead to the end of the semester in the January what are the things you can change to help your semester go better. “Its just a time to set some goals and then actions in place to help you do better in this semester and the half point of the year.” Said by Cooper.
“Core competencies helps students to improve their work habits from previous year. “Said by Donya Moeeni.
“You need the core competency to graduate.” Said by Naaz Mortazavi. So the core competencies not only needed for graduation but also you can see where you were at the first of the semester and where are you at the end of the year.
