  • College & Career Competencies Project

College & Career Competencies Project

The College and Career Competency Framework supports educators in systematically embedding intrapersonal and interpersonal competencies into course content to help students become career-equipped, socially and emotionally engaged, lifelong learners.

Educators have seen the following impacts from competency instruction:

  • Higher rates of school attendance
  • Active engagement in the classroom (i.e., paying attention, understanding and retaining subject matter, etc.)
  • Better grades and achievement scores
  • Fewer office referrals
  • Increased likelihood of pursuing postsecondary education
  • Increased likelihood of post-school success (i.e., promotions, raises, etc.)

 

Do your students have difficulty turning in homework, getting to school on time, focusing on academics during class, studying for tests, completing all aspects of projects, or managing their emotions? Self-Regulation instruction can help.

Do your students lack confidence in their abilities, think that they will always do as well or as poorly as they have done in the past, give up easily when they encounter obstacles, or simply feel that they cannot learn the course content or succeed in school, sports, or arts? Self-Efficacy instruction can help.

Do your students have difficulty expressing themselves or asking for help when they don't understand, sharing opinions during group work, or standing up to their peers? Or do they react aggressively in certain situations; responding in demanding or hostile ways instead of expressing their thoughts or needs respectfully? Assertiveness instruction can help.
