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:  “A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he or she gets to know something.” -- Wilson Mizner
