PP Supervising at EPS

Supervisors guide students through the personal project process.

•                     Supervisors set their own timeline as per their project need with mutual agreement of student and Teacher.

•                     The timeline for completion of the personal project April – December , No standardized timeline Supervisor internally set timeline as per PP

•                     Project supervisors guide, advice students on selecting topics and setting appropriately challenging goals. They help students develop responsibility for their own learning, providing guidance in the process and completion of the project.

•                     Supervisors meet with students on a regular basis. During meetings, supervisors monitor student progress through conversation, written interactions, and/or reviews of the process journal.

Students complete three elements:

1. Product or outcome—evidence of tangible or intangible results: what the student was aiming to achieve or create

2. Process journal- ideas, criteria, developments, challenges, plans, research, possible solutions and progress reports

3. Report—an account of the project and its impact, which includes a bibliography and evidence from the process journal that documents students development and achievements.

Supervisors conduct internal standardization, assess the project report, and submit criterion level totals to the MYP Personal Project Coordinator.

•                     A common standard for determining student achievement is applied and shared with Supervisors by PP coordinator.

•                     Supervisors assess each personal project using published IBMYP PP guide for criteria in investigating, planning, taking action and reflecting.

•                     Supervisors assess project reports in the same form as they will be submitting for moderation.

•                     Internally projects are cross-moderated among supervisors.
