  10. Think of a time when you were faced with a challenging task or project. What personal resources and strategies did you draw upon?

  11. Which of the 10 cross-curricular competencies did you apply and develop?

  12. Sample Learning Experience Scenario Learning Experience Scenario: Your community is planning to build a new recreation centre and is looking for residents of the area to share ideas. You have the opportunity to offer your suggestions to the planning committee. Think about the activities you would like to do at the centre. Research what other communities offer at their recreation centres. Considering the needs and interests of your community, select a format that will best communicate your ideas to the planning committee. Use your research to support your ideas.

  13. Select 3 Cross-curricular Competencies • Select 2-3 cross-curricular competencies that might be applied or developed within the sample learning scenario. • Record the competencies on the template.

  14. What is a Competency Indicator? Competencyindicators are expectations (attitudes, skills, knowledge) that describe behaviours (emotions, thoughts and actions) that students demonstrate (ideas, processes, products and values) in their continued growth within a competency.
