Accomplished through labs, project-based learning and hands-on activities.
Connect technology through student created movies, music, graphic arts, digital (website) design, and models to highlight a few activities/products that students can dive into and thrive.
Ask about reflection sentence stems, integrating technology, lab demos, virtual labs, and other forms of student engagement.
You have questions, need answers?... ASK your Instructional Support Team!!! ❤️
Green screen projects are great for inquiry learning and offers students buy-in to effectively communicate their learning...More info below..

Students communicate their learning through being reflective. Students can share verbally, use the discussion board in Canvas and demonstrate being knowledgeable, principled, open-minded, a thinker, and caring and improve their thought process and writing skills using Reflection sentence stems...(formative assessment 😉 We're all reading and writing teachers!!!

IB Learner Profile Quality: Reflective
Look back at your actions to see how you can improve.
My personal reflection: Reflecting on previous IB PLs-
Improve IB PLs to offer more intentional targeted support geared toward the specific content area that is beneficial for the teachers and students.
Goal: The teachers take away an IB strategy they can actually use in their specific classes that improve student experiences and meets IB expectations.

As our community recovers from the aftermath of Category 4 Hurricane Helene that decimated Richmond, Columbia and surrounding areas on September 27, 2024...remember we are more alike than we are different. We are human. We were ALL impacted by Hurricane Helene. Through loss, tears, frustration, power outages, service outages, no water, lack of food, etc., people have been nicer and more considerate to one another. Sharing stories and personal experiences that cross biases, we learn empathy.
IB MYP aims to help develop students' personal understanding and sense of self and responsibility in their
community; empathy for others. It begins with us. Our students are watching.
Building a culture of service:
Several teachers and staff participated with helping their neighbors clean-up, donated, provided and delivered food, water, ice and charcoal to those in need after the devastation of Hurricane Helene. Some even provided gas for cars and generators.
Tutt teachers and staff delivered food and water to Tutt families identified after Hurricane Helene.
Coach Ellison and Mr. Kennedy served hotdogs and hamburgers to staff and locals on Tutt's patio.
Additional resources, support and information are listed in Mr. Kennedy's daily email notification.
Thank you!

National Hispanic Heritage Month
(9/15/24-10/15/24)
The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988.
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF) – Hispanic American Cultural Association of CSRA (ACHA) hosted its 29th annual Hispanic Heritage Festival at the Augusta Commons, Sept. 13th and 14th.
Mrs. Trujuillo and Mr. Rivera,
Language Acquisition Teachers
We are building a culture of learning and diversity. In an increasingly diverse and challenging world, it is critical that schools incorporate a culturally responsive curriculum. It is important for schools to remember that while each individual is unique, we need to recognize and understand our differences.
By including opportunities to explore our varied cultures and acknowledging our diversity, we hope to promote awareness, tolerance and acceptance in our students and ourselves.
This is an opportunity to celebrate and learn about rich and diverse Hispanic cultures and how traditions enrich the broader American culture. (LPQ=Caring by showing empathy, compassion and respect towards others)

Learner Profile Qualities (LPQs)
Teachers being Reflective...by looking back at your actions to see how you can improve.
Risk-Takers...show courage in unfamiliar situations and be willing to explore new things.
Inquirers...Teachers asking questions to explore and learn new things.
Reflecting and using data to drive instruction and improve student learning results...
The LPQs above are essential to address our opportunities for improvement from the RCSS Cross Functional Awareness Walk that include:
Low rigor and low depth of knowledge questioning in some classrooms.
Students being able to articulate a connection between learning targets and the learning activity.
Learning Targets:(I am learning to...)
Increase student rigor and DOK level questioning
Students connect learning activity to learning targets
Success Criteria: (I know I've learned this when my students can...)
THIS IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE🙂
Example: 75% students can correctly respond 3/5 times to DOK 2,3,4 level questioning.
Example: 75% students can connect the learning activity I've selected to their learning targets.

Modeling (LPQs)
Teachers as Communicators...using strong voice (Strong voice is the overall tone and posture that is used when you are addressing the students in your classroom. It conveys an air of professionalism and helps to establish the teacher's authority.) Communicators effectively and respectfully receive and share information through a variety of ways.
Example: Ms. Ellis, MYP year 2, speaks with confidence and ensures her words are clear and concise and has invested time in developing the foundations of a strong system in her routines in her instructional delivery to her students. This was observed in her engaging standards-based lesson on literary conflict where her students had to identify the literary conflict from the real-world image on her board. She effectively presented and displayed the target learning goal, success criteria. She encouraged and guided her collaborative groups of students to share their results in various ways. (8/29/24)

10 IB Learner Profile Qualities/Attributes Explained
10 IB Learner Profile Qualities/Attributes Explained
Each of the ten characteristics must be broken down when discussing the learner profile.
1. Inquirers
IB students are told to be interested and learn how to study, which helps them understand different topics better. This trait encourages self-driven learning because it lets you question what you think you know and look for answers on your own. Inquiry is at the heart of the IB and sets the stage for future academic work.
2. Knowledgeable
2. Knowledgeable
Being aware is another important IB profile trait. Students do this by going into great detail about subjects, learning many different things, and then using what they’ve learned in real life. You don’t just study for tests in school; you learn things you can use for the rest of your life.
3. Thinkers
3. Thinkers

Taking risks is an integral part of growing as a person. Using this trait means getting out of your comfort zone, whether taking on a demanding job or trying a new action outside of school.
