The four capacities of Curriculum for Excellence are to enable each child or young person to be a successful learner, a confident individual, a responsible citizen and an effective contributor.
In college I use the four capacities by trying my best in each class and setting myself goals in achieving a positive result in class. Also building up confidence with others by interacting with other students and doing the makeup skills being taught on models and other students in and out of the college. I am responsible I feel in the sense that I treat the college with respect and abide by the college rules and being a effective contributor by getting involved in college events.
I feel the four capacities would be carried out in the same way in each class. Successful learning would be carried out by listening to what the lecture is saying, watching the skills being handed out and carrying out each task effectively and correctly. Working with others, models and other students in and out the college will build up confidence with working with strangers and the best way to approach different personalities and backgrounds. The skills being shown and then practised will build up confidence in your practical skills too. Being a responsible citizen in class will consist of looking out for each other and taken care of the college equipment, cleaning up after yourself and being responsible for finishing assessments and tasks carried out in class. Keeping your area of work tidy and cleaning equipment after use and getting involved in the activities such as fund raising activities if a sure way of being a effective contributor.
My overall experience so far at James Watt College has been great. I have learned so much so far and has made me grow more as a person and learned to take responsibility.
