IB Mission and Learner Profile in Action by Kelsey https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6 How is the IB mission reflected through the Learner Profile? What actions do you envision supporting in your role and how do you plan to do that? en-us 2021-06-20 03:40:03 UTC 2021-07-01 01:28:02 UTC hello@padlet.com Stacy https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1628284069 The IB Mission states a number of the IB Learner Profiles in its Mission Statement. Some are right there (inquiring, knowable, caring) and others a bit less noticeable(open-minded). 

Supporting: Teachers with developing/tweaking curriculum that is rigorous and assisting students to see themselves as life long learners. 
Looking for a way to loop math in naturally to the ATL's and Learner Profiles that we are focusing on during that unit.
Plan: Meeting with groups of teachers and supporting them with materials as needed, learning more about areas that I don't feel as confident in and work hard to become more of a risk-taker myself.

The Learner profiles are qualities that people need to embody in order to do so. 

Supporting: I imagine that I would help to make the curriculum and materials being taught obtainable for all students. I also point out when I notice the students embodying the learner profiles. 

Plan: I meet with the teachers I work with to discuss units. I supply and. create materials that are exposing all students to the material being presented, such as using adapted books or trying to incorporate some of the themes into my lessons if possible. I plan on taking what I learned in this pd to help to become stronger in my areas that I need to grow in as well. ]]> 2021-06-28 12:37:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1628303047 Meghan https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1628554538 It seems as though the learn profiles are lines or pathways that lead to the IB mission. In order for students to be globally minded citizens who value the process of continual learning, they need to embody the profiles.

Supporting: I think that I can contribute and help offer ideas when it comes to the language plan that is an integral part of IB, especially for the tiny learners in our school. Students in an IB school should possess communication skills across languages as stated in the leaner profile and I hope I can help contribute in this area. I also hope to bring ideas and action back to my kindergarten team for ways to integrate the state standards and IB curriculum in a way that is valuable for kindergarten inquirers.

Plan: I plan to meet with my team regularly to share ideas and reflect on what we've been doing well and what we can do better on. I hope to bring new ideas from this training to add to my team's great ideas so we can collaborate meaningfully to promote a successful kindergarten experience for all learners.]]> 2021-06-28 15:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1628554538 Cindy cschofner https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1628574317 The IB mission and Learner Profiles seem to be interconnected. By asking questions, being knowledgeable about the topic at hand, and by caring for yourself and others the result is respect for self and others as well as understanding yourself and others.
Developing the learner profile traits teaches people to be able to work independently and in groups with in open mind by collaborating on a common goal working toward success for all, knowing that what has been learned in the classroom is transferred and acted upon in everyday life.

Supporting: I could support others in seeing how different academic areas can be integrated into a thematic unit that involves student choice.

Plan: Meet with teachers and collaborate, be a role model and have other teachers watch some of my lessons that include co creating rubrics and showing how student choice leads to student engagement and how learning now has meaning for the student.]]> 2021-06-28 15:36:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1628574317 Taylor https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1628718424 The IB mission is reflected through the learner profiles by challenging all learners to develop many different traits needed to be an effective global citizen. 

Supporting: I believe I can help my team notice and reflect on the learner profiles that we see each day in our classrooms. 

Plan: I plan to help my team with finding concrete examples of student actions that embody the learner profiles. This will help us with the language when speaking with our students. ]]> 2021-06-28 17:24:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1628718424 Casey https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1628777589 The IB Mission incorporates many of the Learner Profiles. The Learner Profiles are like smaller broken-down, and more concrete ways to achieve the larger goal. By working towards the Lerner profile characteristics, you are in essence working towards the IB Mission. 

Support: I could support our Puentes Team to continue to celebrate languages. Through many of the ATL’s and the Learner Profiles, IB focuses on language and communication. We get to utilize multiple languages in our classrooms to enhance learning.  

Plan: Discuss regularly with our Puentes Team how to incorporate more IB language into our everyday practices.

Support:  I could support my team by sharing ideas about how best to reflect on these traits.

Plan:  I plan to incorporate reflection on the learner profiles regularly when planning with my team.]]> 2021-06-28 19:49:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1628874578 Malissa mnatter1 https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1629066156 The IB mission is to make life long learners that have a global mind-set.  The learner profiles are the characteristics that students/teachers needs to develop and reflect on over time to meet this mission.  

Supporting: I believe I can help my team reflect on the Learner Profiles and ATL's that would benefit our students throughout the different Unit themes. 

Plan: I plan to help my team by purposefully reflecting and collaborating with each other in how we discuss, teach and assess students progress in understand the Learner Profiles and ATL's. ]]> 2021-06-28 23:50:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1629066156 Lauren https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1629092076 The IB mission and the learner profiles are directly related. In order to achieve the IB mission we must have a clear understanding of the learner profiles and be reflective on them.  The learner profiles are little steps towards the big goal. 
Support: I can help by creating more time to meet as a team to share ideas and ways we each incorporate the learner profiles and ATL's into our daily teaching practices to help our students. 
Plan: I plan to meet with my team regularly and dedicate more time on being reflective on the Learner Profiles. We will reflect on how the students use them in our classes and our language regarding these traits. ]]> 2021-06-29 00:12:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1629092076 Amy https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1629129896 The IB learner profile attributes are characteristics that a global citizen would embody.  The mission is to foster this type of development in our students. 
Support: I envision supporting the development of the IB learner profiles by ensuring that these attributes are clearly addressed in the planning for  each unit of inquiry. 
Plan: I plan to meet with grade level teams and EA on a regular basis to review each unit before it is taught and reflect on it afterwards.  ]]> 2021-06-29 00:37:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1629129896 Mariana https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1629420559 The Learner Profile demonstrates all the traits we want our students to continually reflect on and try to improve. Working on each one will foster well rounded young people that feel capable and empowered to have a positive impact on the world. This is also what our school has been about for the past 30 years, developing the whole child so when they leave our school they are ready, confident and have all the tools they need to be change agents in their communities. I envision my role as creating the climate & culture that supports those goals and implementing action plans that lead to positive student outcomes. ]]> 2021-06-29 03:32:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1629420559 Andrea amea3 https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1630008816 The Learner Profile traits help to foster students who understand, and embody what it means, to be global citizens. The learner profile attributes are so closely aligned to our school's mission and vision and important to the core of who we are as a school.  
Support: I plan to work collaboratively with coaches and teachers to continue to build our understanding or how to create truly interdisciplinary units that support all students learning and growing through inquiry-based instruction keeping in mind the importance of student voice, choice, and ownership.
Plan: I would picture myself supporting through my own continued learning and reflection around leadership and IB.  ]]> 2021-06-29 12:12:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1630008816 Maxine https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1632200642 The Learner Profile connects to the IB mission because the traits help to develop open minded students.  
Support: I envision supporting the learner profile by collaborating more with students to help them become people that will create a better world.
Plan: I plan to work with teachers and grade level teams to help students better connect to the profile traits.]]> 2021-06-30 19:24:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1632200642 Ellen https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1632377018
The Learner Profiles supports the IB mission through its traits. These traits help to develop open-minded individuals who will create a more global community.

Support: I can help my team and students by reflecting with them on a regular basis.

Plan: I plan to meet with my team before and after a unit is taught. I also want to have more documentation of my students' reflections to include with mine during a unit of study.]]> 2021-06-30 23:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/chqrhhtgo8nw91u6/wish/1632377018
