The Learner Profile for International Baccalaureate

Try to think of these words as the mission statement in action. I remember these words by spelling out:

RB TROPIC CK

RB

1. Reflective: Giving thought to your own learning and experiences; understanding your strengths and weaknesses

2. Balanced: Physically, intellectually, emotionally balanced

TROPIC

3. Thinkers: Think critically and creatively; make reasoned, ethical decisions

4. Risk Takers: Approach unfamiliar situation with courage and forethought; bravely and articulately defend one’s belief

5. Open-Minded: Understand and appreciate one’s own and other’s cultures, traditions, perspectives

6. Principled: Act with honesty and integrity; take responsibility for actions

CK

9. Caring: Shows concerns, compassion, respect toward others; commit to service

10. Knowledge: Explore ideas, acquire deep knowledge, and develop understanding

The learner profile is a very important part of your work in the International Baccalaureate program. Your assignment will be to pick FOUR profile traits from above that you think are important. After you choose your traits you will find pictures that identify them. You may use magazines, the internet, or draw the illustrations yourself. After you find these you will write a short explanation on how the pictures explain that trait and why it is important to possess it in school and everyday life.

This mini project will account for 40 points. Your grade will be based on how your pictures represent the specific learner profile trait and how you explain why they are important to possess in daily life. Neatness, spelling, and grammar will be taken into consideration when grading the following mini project.
