Editor's Note: Last month (November 2020) this site published a review of the book Project Management for Education & Educators by Walter Ginevri and Bernie Trilling. These authors hold very strongly to the belief that project management, or at least the basic principles, constitute an essential life skill. That is, not only for managing the advancing technological work of the future, but also for managing one's personal career. The problem is that our K12 educational programs are already well established, so there is a natural tendency to resist a whole new subject stream, especially one that has only recently come into prominence. And that is even though some of the basic practices were evident in building the Egyptian pyramids some 4,500 years ago. So maxwideman.com invited Jeremy Raynolds to put together his thoughts on how the idea of introducing the concepts of project management into our educational systems might be accomplished. Of course, such a course must be suited and adapted to different ages, the types of students and their respective levels of learning capability.
