Applying ATL Skills
Approaches to Learning
A personal project is an opportunity to choose, use and develop the learning skills that we have been developing as MYP students. These skills are essential to our learning in all of our content areas, as well as in the world outside the classroom.
In the personal project, students should be able to:
i. explain how the ATL skill(s) was/were applied to help achieve their learning goal
ii. explain how the ATL skill(s) was/were applied to help achieve their product.
