Learner Profile Trait for March

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 March is Communicators.  We express ourselves confidently and creatively in more than one language and in many ways. We collaborate effectively, listening carefully to the perspectives of other individuals and groups.

The Learner Profile Quote of the Day is:   I’ve always believed that a lot of the trouble in the world would disappear if we were talking TO each other instead of about each other. ~  Ronald Reagan
