When students engage with service for others, they engage through investigation, preparation/planning, and action. Reflection and demonstation exist outside the inner circle of investigation, preparation and action because they will be reflecting and demonstrating before, during and after the service experience.

Approaches to Learning
Approaches to Learning Skills are 21st century skills that students will need for life during and after school. There are over 100 skills that are grouped into 5 different clusters:
Communication: how students communicate through interaction and through language.
Self-Management: how students organize themselves, manage their states of mind, and reflect.
Social: how students collaborate.
Research: how students demonstrate information and media literacy.
Thinking: how students think critically, creatively, and how they can transfer the skills and knowledge they learn between disciplines and subjects.

The Learner Profile is made of up of 10 different character attributes that students in the International Baccalaureate work to strengthen throughout their lives in school and beyond. (To view these attributes, please click on the link under the poster image.). It is important to make sure that students are offered opportunities to engage in different types of service and different levels of engagement to assure that students will be able to stretch their character muscles and strengthen themselves into well-rounded stewards of the world.
