So, it has been a busier year than I anticipated, but I am still honing my skills and collecting resources that fit well with the new curriculum here in BC. I wanted to share a resource that we recently got at my school thanks to a Healthy Living Grant through DASH BC. The Kids in the Know Program is the Canadian Centre for Child Protection's national safety education program. In looking through the program it not only supports the PE and Health curriculum, but also the Career Education curriculum. As Career Education is a new course for us at the elementary level, I know we are all looking for materials to get us up and going quickly. To help us all out, I have mapped out the connections to the Big Ideas, Curricular Competencies, Content, and the Core Competencies in Career Education in the document below.

Welcome to an exciting new school year!. Time to get to know your students, do some preliminary testing (reading assessments, writing samples, and math assessments), and provide opportunities to build a sense of belonging in your classroom. This year, I am planning to continue to focus on developing Core Competency activities and lessons for my students. The focus on "thinking," "communication," and "personal social" competencies has proven to be a key factor in developing students who are able to inquire and who are more engaged learners. I am hoping to share some of my successes here. Over the summer, I read "The Power of Inquiry" by Kath Murdoch and was inspired to take some of her ideas and adapt them to fit with the BC Core Competencies. Below is a link to a chart I created that breaks the competencies down into discrete (teachable) skills. They are colour coded to roughly represent primary, intermediate and secondary level skills in each of the six competency areas.
