1. Approaches to Teaching and Learning in the MYP: Session 2
Understanding the Learner Profile
+ ATL Overview
Aims for today:
Develop our understanding of the IB Leaner Profile and how we can explicitly use it with students.
Gain a broad overview of the ATLs.
REFLECTION

2. LEARNER PROFILE
Can you list all 10?! What did you put first and last? Is there a reason you have them in this order?

3. Learner Profile What is it? Why is it important?
How should we be using it in our practice?
How can we promote it?
The IB learner profile represents 10 attributes valued by IB World Schools. They believe these attributes, and others like them, can help individuals and groups become responsible members of local, national and global communities.

4. Competition
In your teams, you have been given words, statements and quotes that relate to one of the 10 attributes that make up the Learner Profile. Your challenge is to find the correct attribute to match your cards and stick them in place before the time runs out… A correctly placed card = 1 point

5. The Learner Profile at LCIS
How can we get the LP to underpin everything that happens in our school?
How could you explicitly use the LP in a lesson?
Should the LP look different at MYP / iGCSE / DP level?
What are our strengths and weaknesses when thinking about the LP?

7. Overlap with ATLs and the Learner Profile

8. ATL and Learner Profile overlap in developing a holistic approach to student welfare:

10. Our aim: to teach ATLs until we have student mastery and don’t need to teach them anymore!

If we are able to have collapsed curriculum days prior to the end of term, we would like to plan a session on IDUs and how we could develop these in MYP1-3 for the new term.
