In order to introduce my students I will have my students do a gallery walk. I in advance will prepare all of the six competencies on a poster, where I will include a picture for each competency and a brief one sentence explanation. My students will walk around the room where all six posters are visible. Once my students are finished my students will in groups of 3 draw one competency each, once they are done each group will present their competency.

# data[].attributes.body
In order to assess my students comprehension of the six competencies I will be using group work to check for understanding. In groups, just like in the gallery walk my students will be paired in groups and will draw each competency and present with their groups.

Describe how you will continue to support and engage your students with the 6-8 identified competencies with resources.

I will continue to reinforce these six competencies throughout the year. Each week I base my lessons on a theme, and within that theme whenever possible I will refer to competencies. For example; when my students go to the library work station(center), I will review the literacy skills competency.

I am able to apply this to my current classroom. In my district we have a set of competencies already. I plan to have my students introduced to the competencies with a gallery walk, and check for understanding by having my students draw a picture representing the competency they chose, and write a one sentence summary. I will repeat this process as much as needed to make sure my students understand what the competencies stand for and how they can help them.
