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?

How could you facilitate connections between the Learner Profile and Humanities curriculum?

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?

I don't see any work. Were you all able to meet? I am happy to work with you in a team meeting on this if you think it would be helpful.

Please see the IB Learner Profile folder in the Y drive (Teachers/All) to access Learner Profile materials for your classroom, hallway, etc.
