What should I do as PP Coordinator?

The IB recommends that one or more project coordinators be appointed within the school to lead the implementation, organization, and management of the projects in the school. The MYP coordinator can fulfil this role, or the school can appoint one or more personal project coordinators. In schools where the MYP coordinator assumes responsibility for the personal projects, the allocation of extra time is often necessary for the role. As an alternative, schools may choose to assign the role to a different staff member (extracted from IB MYP Personal Project Guide of 2021). Below you can find the three main responsibilities of the coordinator.
