 * ===Communicators===
 * ===Principled===
 * ===Open-minded===
 * ===Caring===
 * ===Risk-takers===
 * ===Balanced===
 * ===Reflective===

====**Given that the IB Learner Profile is our goal, what kind of instructional practice will it take to ensure that every students reaches this goal in Physical Education?**====

Choose three profiles (two that are obvious and one that is a stretch) and for each... List examples from your classrooms below:


 * **Risk-takers** - participating in activites that challenges ones personal boundaries through physical activities
 * **Open-minded** - the ability to embrace physical activities, with diverse participants and diverse skill levels
 * **Reflective** - promoting the idea that the various activities students participate in will translate into life-long physical fittness


 * Collaboration November 5th**

Please brainstorm ways to introduce the IB Learner Profile in your classes and list your ideas below:
 * How could you teach students about these words in a meaningful way? Participation for our lesser skilled students teaches risk taking within the realm of physical fitness (team sports). We will strive to achive this through 100% participation in all activities while adjusting to the variable skill levels of our students. - Also teaches "caring" by having higher skilled students work with them. Good job!
 * How could you facilitate connections between the Learner Profile and Physical Education curriculum? Collaborative Challenges incoorperating the games students have learned in PE. Students will develop the framework for the games including the rules and objectives. Relay Activities - various physical skills will be used withn the context of a relay. Participants will have to problem solve the best order of participation and how to navigate through the course of the relay. - Yes!


 * Do you have any specific lesson plans you could use (or have used) to create a classroom culture that fosters the qualities of the IB Learner? Our lesson plans will promote life long physical skills in a variety of team sport type activities that wll translate into opportunities in participation team sports through out the learners life. These lessons will promote the importance of physical activity throughout the learners life. - Also important to consider the other terms as well, for example how physical activity can help people find "balance" in their lives. You might also consider having students study athletes who've contributed to society, for example Andre Agassi's school, etc.
