CL2.1.g. Perceptive, observant

By

Students demonstrate perceptiveness, keen observation skills, and discernment while reading, listening, and watching. They pay attention to detail, noting anomalies or inconsistencies, and asking questions to resolve doubts and discover connections and patterns in seemingly unrelated events.

Students demonstrate the ability to identify and understand their core values (i.e., what is really important to them), beliefs, opinions, attitudes, and mindsets and how they influence their feelings and actions.
