how-to-evidence-pps-los-en.pdfThe personal and professional skills course aims to develop responsibility, practical problem-solving, good intellectual habits, ethical understandings, perseverance, resilience, an appreciation of identity and perspective, and an understanding of the complexity of the modern world. Emphasis is on the development of skills needed to successfully navigate higher education, the workplace and society. With that in mind the PPS will be very practical in nature.
Course Description:
Personal and professional skills (PPS) is a course designed to help reinforce skills students need in college, the workplace, and beyond. The course focuses on five central themes:
Personal Development
Intercultural Understanding
Effective Communication
Thinking Processes
Applied Ethics
The PPS course will also integrate the Reflective Project (RP), Service Learning (SL), and Language Development (LD), essentially making it a class that focuses on the CP Core. Because PPS integrates all of the CP Core, it is necessary you also attend the IBCP Study Hall. During IBCP Study Hall, students will also work on the CP Core. This gives the PPS teacher an opportunity to check in with each student individually, help them manage their workload, and check up on progress in their classes.
While the themes are outlined by unit, they are not taught in isolation. The themes are truly integrated throughout the course and will be woven into various topics in the different units.
Students will complete a digital portfolio for each component of the CP Core.
