Do your students have difficulty turning in homework, getting to school on time, focusing on academics during class, studying for tests, completing all aspect of projects, or managing their emotions? SelfRegulation 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 things get hard; 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 in situations like asking for help when they don’t understand, sharing their opinions during group work, or standing up to their peers? Do your students react in an aggressive way by acting dominant or demanding instead of staying respectful? Assertiveness instruction can help. Do your students have difficulty taking responsibility for their actions, seeing the perspectives of others, or trying to come to a satisfactory solution to disagreements? Conflict Management instruction can help. A SYSTEMATIC FRAMEWORK The College and Career Competency (CCC) Framework, developed by Drs. Amy Gaumer Erickson and Pattie Noonan, supports educators in systematically embedding intrapersonal and interpersonal competencies into course content. In this way, educators support students to become career-equipped, socially and emotionally engaged, lifelong learners. The CCC Framework includes a multi-year professional development process, fidelity tools, instructional resources, and formative assessment. Professional learning opportunities are available through collaboration with the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE). During the 2017-18 school year, professional learning will focus on the competencies that Kansas students and teachers identified as the highest areas of need (i.e., self-regulation, self-efficacy, assertiveness, and conflict management). Professional learning opportunities are contingent upon funding.
