CAMPUS GOAL
By May of 2019 we will decrease the total percentage of D/F’s in literacy and math school wide by 25% (from May of 2018 percentages) as evidenced by a score of four or better on the end of course level of achievement marks.
Learner Profile Trait for October
Barry Goldwater is an International Baccalaureate (IB) school. As such we aspire to fulfill the traits embodied in the Learner Profile. Each month we will highlight and celebrate one of these traits.
The Learner Profile trait that we will focus on for the month of October is Inquirer. We nurture our curiosity, developing skills for inquiry and research. We know how to learn independently and with others. We learn with enthusiasm and sustain our love of learning throughout life.
The Learner Profile Quote of the Day is: It is error only, and not truth, that shrinks from inquiry.” By Thomas Paine
