Clearly identify the ATL skills clusters and specific skills you need to be successful. Example:
Communication- Use a variety of speaking techniques to communicate with a variety of audiences
Self Management, Organizational- Plan short- and long-term assignments; meet deadlines
Your personal project must explain how the ATL skills supported your personal project. You will be expected to embed this evidence into your report and explain its relation to the learning goal. Tag your evidence and process journal by evidence. This could include:
Blogs tagged by ATL
Creating separate folders of evidence under each ATL Skill
A table or chart
Any other method that works for you
Reflect- How are the ATL skills helping you to achieve your learning goals? Keep a running reflection to help organize evidence of how you use the ATL skills to meet your learning goal. Examples can include:
OPVL of sources (research)
Notes from an interview (communication)
Screenshot of your google calendar action plan (self management)
Reflect- How are the ATL skills helping you to achieve your product goals? These should include examples and evidence that is different than the evidence of the learning goal. This evidence will often be anecdotal. This is easier to manage if you keep a current journal. Examples can include:
Problem solving issues in creating (critical thinking)
Resolving conflicts (social)
Writing a story (creative thinking)
A successful application of skills requires clearly identifying multiple ATL Skills that will support you in achieving both your personal learning goal and your product. To demonstrate an excellent level of understanding you will be expected to produce multiple examples of how the ATLs supported your learning. Keep in mind:
Organize information by ATL skill
Reflect often about how you are using the ATL skills
Collect anecdotal and hard evidence of ATL skills
Make clear links between the learning goal, product and ATL skill
