Background: Core Competency Candids is a student run, teacher supervised, inquiry project unfolding in Division 3 at Baker Drive Elementary School. The students, in grades 3,4 and 5, working in partnership with their teacher Kelsey Keller, have created the Core Competency Candids as a way to share their developing understanding of the Core Competencies. This inquiry was born out of a desire for students to be heard amidst a sea of adult voices. The students wanted a platform through which they could share their unique perspective in their own words. The Core Competency Candids are currently a collection of student ‘video diary’ entries in which the students respond to teacher generated questions on a Twitter platform. Combining revised curriculum with student inquiry, agency, and ownership of learning has the potential to be transformative for everyone involved. This year, the inquiry project has been expanded with the generous support of a SET-BC Synergy Project grant in the Communication stream. Attending the Board meeting on October 9th, 2018 will be Mrs. Kelsey Keller. She will be presenting on behalf of the students from the 2017/18 and 2018/19 classes of Division 3. The “Core competencies are sets of intellectual, personal, and social and emotional proficiencies that all students need to develop in order to engage in deep learning and life-long learning. Through provincial consultation, three core competencies were identified: Personal and Social Awareness and Responsibility, Thinking, and Communication. These competencies come into play when students are engaged in “doing” in any area of learning. This includes activities where students use thinking, collaboration, and communication to solve problems, address issues or make decisions. The ultimate goal is for learners to employ the core competencies every day in school and in life, and for the core competencies to be an integral part of the learning in all curriculum areas.”1 1 Ministry of Education https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/competencies Page 4 of 61 2018‐10‐04 “Core Competency Candids” Twitter: @corecandids (Division 3 and Kelsey Keller) B.L.C Inquiry Question: What might happen if my students' voices are a larger part of systemic discussions about the Core Competencies? This inquiry grew out of a Student‐generated inquiry project… Page 5 of 61 1 2018‐10‐04 Where are the STUDENT voices? In 2017… I wanted to develop the core competencies as part of their inner voice. The result? In 2018...THEY wanted to use their core competencies to SHARE that developing voice.
