The MYP Personal Project with Charles Hopkins and Students
Episode description
We talk to Charles Hopkins at the American School of Kinshasa (TASOK) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo about the MYP Personal Project.
It is Project season across the IB Continuum. From the PYP Exhibition to the DP CAS and TOK projects, IB students across the world are demonstrating their learning in many ways. We will hear three MYP students describe their Personal Projects and Charles will give context for those interested in how a school new to the MYP has approached the challenge of implementing this important aspect of the Middle Years Programme.
Thanks to Geselle and Davina (as well as student #2) for their willingness to share their projects with us.
Students whose MYP school ends before 10th grade complete the Community project which is the subject of another IB Matters podcast.
We have another IB Matters episode about the Personal Project in which Jon Eversoll goes into detail about the entire process of creating and evaluating the projects here.
You can learn more about the MYP and the Personal Project here.
