Trailblazer Learner Profile Posters
Vygotsky’s saying, “Through others we become ourselves”, speaks to the importance of exemplifying and understanding diverse role models. The IB Learner Profile represents 10 attributes that can help individuals and groups become responsible members of local, national, and global communities. So we thought – what better way to make the learner profile attributes come alive for our students than through trailblazing community members that have made a significant impact on our world!Our Learner Profile Posters showcase stories of role models who have taken action to bring about positive change. They celebrate the IB mission statement in action and provide classroom communities with tangible ideas for valuing, appreciating, reflecting, and building a shared language around the learner profile.
