I just finished a digital tutorial outlining a 4-step process I used to launch the competency emphasized in my students' authentic learning experiences. This approach helps establish a shared language, encourages students to recognize and internalize the competency, provides opportunities for practice, and culminates in reflective activities that solidify their understanding.

By thoughtfully preparing students with this process, you can create a strong foundation that ensures they are not only ready but excited to engage fully with your project's entry event.

This example demonstrates the 4-step process for the BCPS Graduate Profile Competency: Effective Communicator, and includes a wealth of resources for teachers to explore.

How do you integrate competencies into the lessons and projects you teach?
