Thank you to the amazing Sharon Jeroski, who brilliantly shared her wisdom and ideas around Communicating Student Learning to elementary teachers and principals this morning.  Teachers shared wonderful stories of ways children are learning and reflecting in classrooms all across Burnaby.

Communication competency encompasses the set of abilities that students use to impart and exchange information, experiences, and ideas, to explore the world around them, and to understand and effectively engage in the use of digital media.  Communication competency provides a bridge between students’ learning, their personal and social identity and relationships, and the world in which they interact.

Watch this short video, by clicking on “Communication Competency”, created by Dormick Park Elementary School.  The students explain in beautifully!
