IB Learner Profile

How can we instill the values of the International Baccalaureate World School Learner Profile into our students and our professional learning as educators?

Below are links to activities that will guide us in the process.

IB Learner Profile Activity 1

The week of October 13 - 17, 2014 will be IB Learner Week here at our school.   Students will be engaged in a variety of activities aimed toward embedding in them the characteristics of an IB Learner as described in the IB Learner Profile.

Students should complete an IB Learner Profile Project where they will demonstrate an understanding of each of the characteristics of an IB Learner and describe how they express those traits in their everyday educational pursuits.

Projects should contain the following elements.
