Personal Project: Supervisors & Teachers

Personal Project information and support for teachers and students

Teacher Support for Personal Project

Welcome to the Personal Project! 

These resources are to support teachers supervisors and Grade 10 mentors in guiding our students through the P2 process at WAB. 

What's different in 2024-2025? 

WAB students are supported through a dual teacher role that includes formal project Supervisors and G10 Mentors both working together to effectively guide students through the process. Essentially, supervisors hold a traditional guiding role and mentors support their entire mentor groups in the process. In addition, students are encouraged to engage one or more community specialists who can provide both specific guidance and also serve as key connections between students and the community where their work is embedded.
