Memories - ok2222Project based learning has been the type of education I’ve received since 4th grade, approximately 7 years so far. I definitely feel as though I’ve obtained a number of skills from PBL (Project Based Learning). From a young age I was able to explain to my teachers and parents what I felt I was accomplishing in my classes and areas I could work in.
There definitely have been some hard skills that I’ve acquired throughout the years as well as soft skills. (Hard skills being more so tangible skills and easier to quantify, while soft skills aren’t as easy to identify) I believe a hard skill that I have really taken away with me during PBL is essay writing. I’ve written research papers, personal narratives, scripts, etc. But learning how to write an essay was something I found fun and was one of the very few times I actually enjoyed writing something. Through various drafts and class lessons of essay writing I believe I was able to hone this skill, which was very resourceful as the SAT was coming up at the time we were learning about essay writing. As for a soft skill I’ve learned, that would be most applicable to my work environment, is my presentation skills. I’ve been developing this skill for a very young age ever since we could do Student Led Conferences, along with the Presentations of Learning we began to do. These are aren’t as easy to notice the growth of as what I chose for my hard skill, as with writing I could show you my drafts and you can read where I’ve grown. But with my presentation skills the growth is only notable if you’ve been to my past POLs or SLCs. I think since I’ve been honing this skill for so long I’ll be able to apply it to the adult environment of my internship rather easy.
