Open-Minded. They understand their own cultures and personal histories, and are open to the perspectives, values and traditions of other individuals and communities. IBO. org. This photo is from International Day 2019. A day where we at Short Ave celebrate our diverse cultures and learn to understand and appreciate our differences. Being Open-minded is one of the IB learner profiles that we strive to instill in our students everyday.

Reflective. They give thoughtful consideration to their own learning and experience. They are able to assess and understand their strengths and limitations in order to support their learning and personal development. IBO.org In the spring of 2019, one of our students had the idea of a poet-tree as a place where students, staff and parents could share their poetry. I saw this boy looking at the poet tree and asked him if he had a poem on it. No, he said, I just came to read what was new. :)

Principled! They act with integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness, justice and respect for the dignity of the individual, groups and communities. IBO.org. This photo was taken September 11th 2019. Principled is another attribute of the IB learner profile that we instill in our students at Short Ave School.

Today is Election Day! Voting is the expression of our commitment to ourselves, one another, this country, and this world. Sharon Salzberg, a central figure in the field of meditation, a world-renowned teacher and NY Times bestselling author. Please vote!

Caring is an IB learner profile. According to IBO.org, Caring students show empathy, compassion and respect towards the needs and feelings of others. They have a personal commitment to service, and act to make a positive difference to the lives of others and to the environment. This picture was taken at our School Beautification Day, fall of 2019. We had lots of students, families and staff come, proving that the idea of caring is deeply rooted in the Short Ave Community! @lausd_ldwest
