PP Planning & Preparing for a Project:
This workbook is designed to support a more autonomous and individually defined project, to meet the personal learning agenda through this learning journey platform. This offers more empowerment to self-directed learners, but does create more vague scaffolding as it cannot be specific given the generic, templated nature.

This workbook is designed to help students reflect on the skills they develop throughout their co-op work term, plan for their growth and development and articulate learning to themselves and others.
