What is my role in the personal project?

I am very passionate about the MYP personal project as it gives students full ownership of their learning. This is a PROCESS in which students are guided to expand their potentials and encouraged to follow their natural curiosity making their project. They have free choice of topic, concept, content , context, process and product. Each student is paired up with a supervisor to help them stay on track for their goal. Throughout the process, many discussions and dialogues take place to push the student to think and reflect deeper in order to identify their WHY of doing. This is the process in which students have an opportunity to enhance their personal values and beliefs, and develop their own self-identity.

To maximize the success of supervision and student performance, supervisors and students should have a clear view of their roles and responsibilities. After getting ideas from the students and supervisors, and referring to the MYP personal project key documents, I have created this infographic to help us have an overview of what the personal project is, what the three key components and most importantly, what our roles and responsibilities are.
