Learner Profile Trait for September

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 September is Balanced.  We understand the importance of balancing different aspects of our lives—intellectual, physical, and emotional—to achieve well-being for ourselves and others. We recognize our interdependence with other people and with the world in which we live.

What about you?  Do you have balance in your life?

The Learner Profile Quote of the Day is:  “Balance is not something you find it is something you create.”
