Editor's Notes
- #2: I’m here to speak to you about the importance of teaching primary and secondary students the life skill of project management.
- #3: Students are given complex projects as early as 4 th grade and they are graded on the these projects. We wouldn’t expect a student to write a paper without providing instruction in grammar and spelling; nor would be expect a child to pass a math test with knowing how to add and subtract. Yet we grade students on projects and don’t teach the project management skills.
- #4: With more teachers assigning projects, the task of doing multiple and simultaneous classroom projects is a common predicament.
- #5: Likewise, teachers are unlikely to have any formal training or background in formal project concepts or discipline themselves, making the consistent, effective use of projects as a teaching tool that much more challenging.
- #6: A new frontier of education has emerged in which projects have become an integral part of a child’s learning experience.
- #7: Managing projects is something we do throughout our lives. If we teach children to manage projects they can be more successful in school and be prepared to be competitive in the 21 st century workforce.
- #8: Project management is a 21 st century skill. 21 st century skills include; Communication Collaboration Cross cultural understanding Computer literacy Creativity Conflict resolution Critical thinking
- #9: When students participate in a project team they learn and practice 21 st century skills. They communicate, collaborate and negotiate.
- #10: Leading business leaders and educators believe that 21 st century skills are as importance as core subjects
