Life
presents everyone with a series of major and minor projects, ranging from small
daily activities like meal planning and preparation to major
undertakings like managing a sales campaign or buying a house. Adults
routinely define goals, prepare schedules, coordinate with others, evaluate
options, implement procedures, and evaluate outcomes. They usually
know both the goals and
the performance standards associated with the project’s successful
discharge. School projects help teach the skills that students will need
to manage life’s projects. Assessment techniques for student projects
should contribute to these skills.
