The Importance of Teaching Youth Project Management Life Skill
www.pmief.org
Students are given complex projects as early as fourth grade and yet we do not teach theskills they need to be successful in completing their projects.
With more teachers assigning projects, multiple and
simultaneous classroom projects are a common problem.
Teachers are unlikely to have any training or background in project concepts, making the use of projects as a teaching tool that much more challenging.
Projects have become an integral part of a child’s learning experience.
Project Management is a Life Skill
If we teach children tomanage projects they can be more successfulin school and be prepared to be competitive in the 21st century workforce.
Project Management is a 21st Century Skill
