Vital Core Standard 1

Standard 1: Yourself

A) You  Students focus on familiarity with and an understanding of their own personal information, history, current situation, and how these things inform their approach to and interaction with others, their community and the world. Definitions, descriptions, measurements, experiences/projects all focus on building greater depth in these understandings.


B) Your Family   Students focus on familiarity with and an understanding of their family, guardians and living situation, and how these things inform their approach to and interaction with others, their community and the world. Definitions, descriptions, measurements, experiences/projects all focus on building greater depth in these understandings.


     The first of the Vital Core Standards focuses on the developing learner knowing themselves, their own strengths, and their own challenges. Progressing from the early stages of development and a focus on identity and self-awareness, expanding to integrating that self awareness into a pursuit of interest and building of skills that facilitate that pursuit.  For successful student outcomes the understanding of self is co-dependent with a understanding of the many community systems a developing learner and future citizen belongs to and participates in throughout their lives starting with their family and then moving onward to their own adult community and career choices.
