There are only 4 upload slots. It is no longer required to submit evidence of the product/outcome in a separate upload – this should be integrated in the report (audio or written) or appendices. With regards to the video/audio upload slot, what it is important to keep sight of is that if audio is the medium chosen for the report, then audio is what the report will be assessed on. The audio can be supported by documents / pages, which the moderator will also look at, but the moderator will not assess powerpoint slides or other visual content as part of the audio report submission.

The Personal Project is in many ways the precursor, or the first steps towards the Diploma Programme Extended Essay. The extended essay is a required component of the International Baccalaureate® (IB) Diploma Programme (DP). It is an independent, self-directed piece of research, finishing with the submission of a 4,000-word paper.

Both the Personal Project and Extended Essay are self-directed, independent pieces of work. They both seek to encourage self-regulated learning by building skills such as goal setting, effective time management skills, self-awareness of motivation, organisational skills, and growth mindsets. These Approaches to Learning Skills (ATLs - more information in the sidebar) that are necessary to achieve the Personal Project are precisely the skills required when entering the Diploma Programme and for completing the Extended Essay.

To read more about the Extended Essay at Stockholm International School, visit the SIS EE school site.

The Personal Project is a great indicator of how successful a student might be in the Diploma Programme and the Extended Essay. This is why it is critical that students practice and build their ATL skills in MYP5. Our best advice is that students take every opportunity to grow, learn, and ask for help when necessary."

I've shared a few posts about Approaches to Learning (ATL Skills) before: and I haven't posted a link to my ATL Toolkit, but have not explicitly talked about it here.

My ATL toolkit has every ATL Skill, Cluster and Indicator...but then with each indicator, it gives resources, including thinking routines, videos and strategies, to help you support students in developing those skills.

Some examples:
Communication - Give and Receive Meaningful Feedback
The spreadsheet has resources for most indicators, but not all, and it is mostly full of things that I have found and used. ​​ My request is that people share the resources they use, so that I can add it to the ATL Toolkit - many heads are better than one right?

Please share links in the comments, or you can comment directly on theATL TOOLKIT!

Kamilla's Project

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It all began when Kamilla completed a service as action project in 2017. She had created a "Map of Astana" to address UN Sustainable Development goal 9: industry innovation and infrastructure and had the idea to restructure the map into a 3D model for the visual impaired community.

She also created a website and Instagram page as a part of her project development to inform the community. However, the budget for the 3D model was too high (around USD3,000) and her bake sales did not contribute sufficiently. Since then, Kamilla visits the school to read books to the visually impaired students and has created a strong relationship with both children and parents.

Willow's Project

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The most challenging part of this was maintaining consistency throughout my practices. I practiced every Monday, Wednesday and Friday also, I volunteer with young kids while training. One of the most difficult parts of my training was being able to practice swimming with weight, so I had to mount a brick on my back and complete my laps.

Also, I had to increase the amount of laps I had to swim in order to up my stamina, I worked with local kids from summer camps and I maintained the water safety rules while training, it was challenging.
What would you have changed or refined to improve your work looking back?
I felt that things couldn't have gone better. I was expecting to practice every day and I maintained that goal while having to complete it in time to go on my family vacation.
What has been the most meaningful outcome of the project since completion?
I feel that working with kids was most impactful. The fact that I enjoy working with others and helping kids who are learning to swim in a nearby community really made me enjoy what I did at the Pompey Park Pool.
If a younger student was to follow in your footsteps and build on your work in this area, what advice would you have for them?
The advice I would give a younger student would be to practice good judgement, I feel that working with others in a community where most of the kids do not swim, will be a challenge. Continuing to practice good judgement while working with younger children is especially important. I would explore learning to become a good listener and a good role model for the younger children.

The next big challenge is working as a lifeguard and being able to maintain and continue best practices of being a lifeguard. I learned it's not just water safety in this community, it will be important to listen to younger kids and practice my skills-including CPR-all of this will be a major challenge once I become a life guard.
