Learner Profile Trait for January

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 January is Reflective.  We thoughtfully consider the world and our own ideas and experience. We work to understand our strengths and weaknesses in order to support our learning and personal development.

The Learner Profile Quote of the Day is:  Since everything is a reflection of our minds… Everything can be changed by our minds.  Buddha
