Student self-assessment of Critical and Creative Thinking

Dear Class,  Your self-assessment of Critical and Creative Thinking are due ASAP!  Please follow the directions below.

The Core Competencies are a foundational component to the re-designed curriculum. This year, our focus at JO will be the Critical and Creative Thinking Competencies. As per the Student Progress Report Order from the Ministry of Education, all students require a self-assessment on a Core Competency at the end of the school year. As mentioned during CP time last week, we ask that all teachers help us in communicating to students their responsibility to self-assess and upload their Core Competency reflection. On Monday, May 27^th we asked that you take some time to discuss with your students during the block the Core Competency self assessment/reflection and the importance that they are responsible for completing and uploading  their reflections it to MyEd.  Attached you will find prepared documents to help students organize their thinking for their self assessment of the core competency.

There are many ways that students can document their self-assessment of Critical and Creative Thinking. You can share with your students that they can use the documents to help them organize their thinking, but their final document could include any of the following:
