# Learning outcomes

{% hint style="info" %}
There are five learning outcomes for the personal and professional skills course. Students are required to demonstrate that they have met each one.
{% endhint %}

By the end of the course, students must show that they can: 

* Learning Objective 1 (LO1) - Identify their strengths and develop areas for growth. 
* LO2 - Demonstrate the ability to apply thinking processes to personal and professional situations.
* LO3 - Recognize and be able to articulate the value of cultural understanding and appreciation for diversity.
*  LO4 - Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of communicating effectively and working collaboratively.
*  LO 5 - Recognize and consider the ethics of choices and actions.

{% hint style="success" %}
It is up to the school to decide how these learning outcomes will be achieved and evidenced. However, most schools opt to ask their students to keep a portfolio as a way of recording their achievement of the learning outcomes. 
{% endhint %}

Students have a great opportunity in PPS to select and present materials that reflect individual voice and showcase their unique talents. They might like to keep a portfolio on [ManageBac](https://www.managebac.com/) as a record of their goals, objectives, and evidence that they have met the learning outcomes.
