The forum will include facilitated group discussions focused on obtaining feedback based on five key questions: Question #1: What do you think are the core or essential things all students should know, understand and be able to do by the time they leave secondary school? Question #2: Beyond the core, how could pathways for choice or exploration be provided? Question #3: Research is underway with a focus on the following five cross-curricular competencies: a) Communication b) Critical Thinking c) Creative Thinking and Innovation d) Personal Responsibility and Well Being e) Social Responsibility How do you think students could demonstrate these competencies? Question #4: How might learning be communicated to: a) Students b) Parents/Guardians c) Post-Secondary Institutions/Employers?
