PYP Learner Profile in Action

At your goal-setting Fall conference your child's teacher shared Spicewood's Learner Profile Continuum with you. This is a document that provides teachers and students with a place to reflect and assess the student's growth in the ten Learn Profile attributes (inquirer, knowledgeable, thinker, communicator, principled, open-minded, caring, risk-taker, balanced and reflective).
Together, the IB learner profile attributes represent key aspects of intellectual, personal, emotional, and social theories of learning that interact with and inform each other. The attributes clearly reflect, and concisely express, the IB’s unique mission and history. They shape and mutually reinforce each other.

By engaging in conversations with our students about how they exemplify these attributes, and using this dialogue to set goals, we are both outlining their value and helping students continue to develop these skills through reflection and practice. The Spicewood Continuum also allows your child and his/her teacher to communicate their specific strengths and goals so that you can support their progress at home.
