KPOP ¹ | Competencies in Action

The Personal Orientation Project program—or POP—is comprised of 2 competencies:
Competency 1:
The student—carries out a process of career exploration.
Competency 2:
The student—contemplates his/her learning and work possibilities.

• These two competencies are developed simultaneously in the classroom.
• To facilitate the implementation, or putting into action of these competencies, a learning and evaluation process was identified, as seen in this poster. Commonly referred to as K-POP.
• The process is made-up of four phases that a student undergoes in each of the 3 to 8 individual career explorations.
• The phases are:

• Know Yourself
• Plan
• On-Task
• Ponder

These phases put into action both competencies and their key features.

Resource | GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS
A graphic organizer (GO) is a visual learning tool that helps students organize their thoughts, either alone or in a group. A graphic organizer visually chunks a task into manageable segments or steps, guiding a student to think-through each step in the process. In terms of artifacts, GOs make visible the invisible thinking processes a student uses at various points in a career exploration.

Completed graphic organizers become evidence, artifacts, of student learning as they are engaged in their various tasks. These artifacts represent the learning processes students engage in.

Click on each phase to download graphic organizers.
