Students started off this year contemplating the 10 Learner Profiles of the IB Programme. Exactly how do I learn best? Which Learner Profile is my super strength? These are a couple of questions that students were asked to write about. All of the responses are on the bulletin board in room 311, the Language A, English classroom for MYP 3/grade 8. Come and read them when you happen to be on campus! :) Read a few student responses below.
I am reflective. Last year when we wrote reflections using Evernote, I had to reflect about my strengths and weaknesses in different projects and classes. I also saw how I was learning and how my thoughts changed with different ideas and subjects. To learn, people have to reflect on their experiences. by JC, gr. 8
I am a thinker because I like to analyze situations (sometimes too much though) and then come up with a plan to complete a problem/activity quickly and efficiently. I spend a lot of time watching other people do the activity so that I can see what they do, and then see how I could make their plan better (only if their plan doesn't work at first). Some of the ideas that I come up with aren't very good at first, but they are creative and with a little adjustment they can be very effective. by CE, gr. 8
I feel that I am a principled learner because in all my group projects in whichever subject, and working with other students, I give out an even amount of work to the entire group. In science class last year, I was assigned a group for a project which would require all of us to contribute and work together to complete the task. We didn't finish it in the first class so we were assigned it for homework. We all pulled our work load and got the project done. I am glad that I worry aabvout my won past and make sure that others don't fall behind. by DM, gr. 8
