IB Learner Profile
IB Learner Profile Attributes count!
As part of the PYP, we focus on the development of positive attitudes towards people, towards the environment and towards learning. At Grover Beach Elementary, the learner profile attributes are explicitly connected throughout every aspect of our curriculum. The calendar shows how we focus on specific learner profile attributes each month. We celebrate these at our monthly Learner Profile assemblies that families are invited to when their child is honored as exemplifying one of the attributes.
