Your final PPS project will bring together all of the skills that you have developed over your 2 year career-related programme. The cohort will work with a local foreign language International School to run an ‘Olympic Sports Day’ for a selection of primary students. This day will require all of the transferable skills developed in PPS, your career-related BTEC studies, your service learning and perhaps most importantly….your language development.
Students should plan which elements should be completed pre-event, during the event and which elements post-event, students can then organise a timeline accordingly (every event should have a beginning, a middle and an end, ideally leaving a lasting impression). Areas of research & reflection will also be necessary.
The final product would be the successful delivery of the event, evidence of participation in the form of photo / video, observation records and witness statements. Also feedback from students, teachers & parents in addition to self reflections from the CP students themselves.
