THE IB LEARNER PROFILE – 10 CHARACTERISTICS OF A GLOBAL LEADER

THE IB LEARNER PROFILE - 10 CHARACTERISTICS OF A GLOBAL LEADER

The IB learner profile represents 10 attributes valued by IB World Schools, including SNA Saigon South Campus. We believe these attributes, and others like them, can help individuals and groups become responsible members of local, national and global communities.

As IB teachers and learners at SNA Saigon South Campus, we strive to be: 

  • Inquirer: We nurture our curiosity, developing skills for inquiry and research. We know how to learn independently and with others. We learn with enthusiasm and sustain our love of learning throughout life. 
  • Caring: We show empathy, compassion and respect. We have a commitment to service, and we act to make a positive difference in the lives of others and in the world around us. 
  • Knowledgeable: We develop and use conceptual understanding, exploring knowledge across a range of disciplines. We engage with issues and ideas that have local and global significance. 
  • Thinker: We use critical and creative thinking skills to analyse and take responsible action on complex problems. We exercise initiative in making reasoned, ethical decisions. 
  • Principled: We act with integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness and justice, and with respect for the dignity and rights of people everywhere. We take responsibility for our actions and their consequences. 
  • Balanced: We understand the importance of balancing di erent aspects of our lives—intellectual, physical, and emotional—to achieve well-being for ourselves and others. We recognize our interdependence with other people and with the world in which we live. 
  • Risk-taker: We approach uncertainty with forethought and determination; we work independently and cooperatively to explore new ideas and innovative strategies. We are resourceful and resilient in the face of challenges and change. 
  • Communicator: We express ourselves confidently and creatively in more than one language and in many ways. We collaborate effectively, listening carefully to the perspectives of other individuals and groups. 
  • Open-minded: We critically appreciate our own cultures and personal histories, as well as the values and traditions of others. We seek and evaluate a range of points of view, and we are willing to grow from the experience. 
  • Reflective: We thoughtfully consider the world and our own ideas and experience. We work to understand our strengths and weaknesses in order to support our learning and personal development.

 

These ten IB Learner Profile attributes collectively shape students into well-rounded, responsible, and globally-minded individuals who are not only academically capable but also socially conscious and ready to make a positive impact on society.

The Importance Of The IB Learner Profile In The IB Programmes

Beyond academics, the Learner Profile promotes global citizenship, ethics, and critical thinking. IB graduates emerge as empowered individuals ready to impact society through education, careers, or community involvement. It’s not just an educational framework; it transforms students into lifelong learners and responsible global citizens.

How SNA Saigon South Campus Implement the IB Learner Profile into our Curriculum

We ensure that lessons and activities promote the development of these qualities. For example, teachers may design projects that encourage students to be inquirers or thinkers, fostering curiosity and critical thinking. They create a classroom environment that values open-mindedness, principled behavior, and caring attitudes. Cooperative learning, discussions, and experiential learning are often employed. In addition, students may be evaluated not only on their academic knowledge but also on their ability to demonstrate attributes such as reflection, communication, and risk-taking.
