Learner Profile Trait for March

The Learner Profile for 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 wasn’t a great communicator, but communicated great things, and they didn’t spring full-bloom from my brow – they came from the heart of a great nation.”  Ronald Reagan
