Key Competencies (Investigation Phase)
Annual Plan Target
Students and teachers become increasingly aware of the critical competencies of thinking, relating to others, managing self, participating and contributing and using language symbols and texts.
Background
The KingsWay curriculum identifies five key competencies. Students use these competencies to live, learn, work and contribute as active members of their communities. More complex than skills, the competencies draw on knowledge, attitudes, values in ways that lead to action. They are not separate or stand-alone. They are the key to learning in every learning area. The ongoing mastery of key competencies is essential to promote success in life and the workforce.
Progress
A representative group is working alongside an external expert provider looking to develop the following:
- common and simple language expressed in a key competency framework.
- A consistency tool to monitor the progress of students towards mastery of the key competencies
- a report template to provide feedback to parents and students on their progress and achievement of the key competencies.
The initiation of the plan is scheduled to start in 2022.
