Learner Profile in Action

30/11/2018

Friday parents came in for a learner profile workshop and visit to the primary classrooms for grades 1-4. Thank you parents!

We flipped the schedule for this workshop, and parents first experienced the morning meetings (7:45-8:10) and then followed with information about the learner profile.

In the morning meetings, parents had a chance to observe the learner profile in action. Students were reflecting, playing games with each other and being caring. Morning meetings are a time to build social relationships and to establish a climate of caring and respect for the day.

Then parents came back to the auditorium for a workshop about the heart of the IBPYP: the learner profile.

The learner profile is a set of attributes valued by the IB that help develop internationally minded learners. They go beyond academic success and incorporate important values for an individual.

We want learners to strive to be:

Inquirers
Knowledgeable
Thinkers
Communicators
Principled
Open-minded
Caring
Risk-takers
Balanced
Reflective

You can use the language of the learner profile at home as well. Ask your children questions using the language. Here are some questions you can ask your children using the learner profile:

For more reading, the IB has published a guide to the learner profile. If you missed the workshop, please see the Parent Workshops link on the right side of this page.
