📣 October IB Learner Profile: Communicator 🗣️✨
At Starbuck International, we’re celebrating Communicators this month!
💬 IB Definition:
Communicators express themselves confidently and creatively in more than one language and in many ways. They collaborate effectively, listening carefully to the perspectives of other individuals and groups.
Being a communicator means speaking and listening with respect — it’s how we build understanding and connection in our diverse learning community. 🌎💡
💫 We’d love to hear from YOU!
Parents and students — who on our staff do you think models what it means to be a true communicator? Use the link below to nominate a staff member who listens, collaborates, and helps others feel heard.
