This project will help students build and understand what type of learner they are. Students will be able to understand their learning style and how it fits into the IB learning system. As a school that is transitional to full IB status, we are teaching our students how to view learning as an inquiry-based practice. Instead of viewing learning as a passive activity, our IB students view learning as an Engauge process that asks deep, critical questions. IB has rigorous standards that provide students with excellent study skills and approaches to learning that promote success.
