That was very principled!') or negative (i.e. 'That wasn't very open-minded') context binary. I wrote a unit plan for MYP PE that focused on using the learner profile attributes to solve problems in sport.<br /><br />I agree -- the best learning of the LP's is by promoting them in action (without explicit mentioning, as your said). I also try to teach them via philosophy. <br /><br />Love your blog posts! Keep it up! I've talked about you and your class to my own class and they love that teachers collaborate via social media from afar :)Cdawson18https://www.blogger.com/profile/06089773132089720783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3071719252136968205.post-35412958469521365422017-05-20T06:40:15.809-07:002017-05-20T06:40:15.809-07:00And thank you for asking about it, Lee!
The attr...And thank you for asking about it, Lee! <br /><br />The attributes are a great set - Inquirers, Knowledgeable, Thinkers, Communicators, etc - but there's a danger of students getting very weary of hearing them by age 18 if we're not careful ourselves! The best thing, I guess, is if we can arrange learning that promotes the attributes without mentioning them all the time!Simon Gregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751362728185120933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3071719252136968205.post-7712009980867946262017-05-20T05:45:18.876-07:002017-05-20T05:45:18.876-07:00I really love that you ask the children to make th...I really love that you ask the children to make their own version of something and make it different! Will definitely be using this more frequently! <br /><br />The second thing I really loved was how you connected it to the IB learner profile. As students get older I've noticed it's used as a "threat" (ex. "That's not very principled"). I like that you're using it to describe the work they are doing in the class, not just their behaviour.
