How it works

Personal Project Studio, step by step

Three people use the studio: the coordinator sets up the year group, each supervisor looks after one to three students, and each student works through twelve steps. Here is what each one does, in order.

1 · The coordinator

Usually the school’s MYP personal project coordinator. Coordinator access is switched on by Stadira.

Sign in and ask for coordinator access. Go to stadira.com/pp-teacher, sign in (with Google, or with your email and a password), open Cohorts and choose “ask for coordinator access”. Stadira switches it on, usually within two working days.
Create the cohort. One per MYP 5 year group, e.g. “MYP 5 Personal Project 2027”. You get a student code (PP-…) and a supervisor code (PPT-…).
Set the dates and the rules. In the Coordinator console → Settings: your deadlines, how students get a supervisor (you assign · students choose · supervisors pick) and how many students each supervisor takes.
Invite and approve supervisors. Send teachers the supervisor link from the getting-started steps. Each one signs in and asks to join; you approve them under Supervisors.
Get the school licence. Request a quote on the course page. Once it is paid (or agreed as a pilot), Stadira switches the licence on and your students open the studio free with the student code.
Give students the student code. They enter it on the course page in “Has your school given you a cohort code?”.
Match students with supervisors. Under Allocation: one by one, or balance the cohort in one click. Supervisors see only their own students. A student may also ask a teacher directly (from My set-up); when that teacher accepts, they replace the previous supervisor and you are emailed. Switch this off in Settings if you prefer.
Through the year. The Roster shows every student’s step, last meeting and status; Timeline shows who has passed each date. Before marking, run Standardisation on sample reports; then Marks gives second marking, the agreed level and a sheet ready for IBIS; Integrity and Reports give the form notes and progress notes for families.

2 · The supervisor

Any teacher at the school. Free for teachers; it comes with the school’s licence.

Join with the link from your coordinator. Sign in (or create an account), then ask to join. You can also type the supervisor code (PPT-…) under Cohorts.
Wait for approval. Your coordinator approves you; you get an email.
Add one line about what you can supervise. Under Cohorts. Students see it when they choose.
Your students appear under My students. Each card shows the one thing the student needs from you, with a button straight to it. A student may ask you directly to supervise them: you get an email and an Accept button on your dashboard; accepting replaces their previous supervisor.
Approve the goal, then the plan. The student’s next steps open only when you approve. You can send it back with a comment instead.
Record the three meetings and the safety and ethics check. Students propose the meeting and write it up; you confirm it. Confirmed meetings are locked.
Give one round of feedback on the draft, then mark the final report. The marks form follows the IB criteria. If your coordinator runs standardisation, you mark the samples first.
Every Monday you get an email listing your students and what each needs. You can switch emails off under Cohorts.

3 · The student

Open the course page and sign in. stadira.com/courses/ib-myp-personal-project-studio
Enter the student code. In “Has your school given you a cohort code?”. On a licensed school the studio opens free; otherwise the student enrols on the same page (free with STADIRA100 until 30 April 2027, then P499 a year).
Get a supervisor. The coordinator assigns one, or the student asks a teacher directly under My set-up (“Ask a teacher to be my supervisor”): the teacher accepts and the student is emailed. One supervisor at a time; a change replaces the previous one.
Work through the twelve steps. Goal, success criteria, plan, evidence log, meetings, product, reflection and the report, with a live page count. The studio never writes their work (AI-free).
Send each checkpoint to the supervisor from inside the studio: goal, plan, draft and final report.
