IB ATTRIBUTE OF THE MONTH: REFLECTIVE
This month, REFLECTIVE is the IB Attribute of the Month. According to the IB, true learning occurs with reflection. When one is reflective, he/she gives thoughtful consideration to what is learned and experienced and assesses and understands his/her strengths and limitations to support learning and personal development. Reflection assists with decision-making and allows one to reassess what has happened, what has been learned, and to analyze events, emotions, and thoughts of the past. It allows one to ponder, question, and feel grateful for the journey and the lessons learned along the way.
This is a great attribute to end the school year! Parents are encouraged to assist their scholar(s) in reflecting on the school year to identify strengths, weaknesses, and personal growth.
