ENRICHING COMMUNITIES

Global Citizens

Globally-Minded is one of our six ISB Learner Attributes. We use these to guide our thinking, actions, and reflection within our curriculum, pedagogical practices, assessment, and program design.

Our teams review our resources and units of study to design intentional learning experiences that align with our Learner Attributes and our vision of enriching communities through our learners’ intellectual, humanitarian and creative thoughts and actions.

We define our globally-minded learner attribute at ISB through the lenses of cultural diversity, personal and social responsibility, perspective-taking, and applying knowledge to current global issues.

During the first semester this year, we leveraged our time virtually and engaged high school faculty members and students with developing leadership dispositions and skills through a series of workshops. From there, a team came together to gather student feedback and suggestions to co-create an ISB Student Leadership Retreat for high school club officers in the second semester. By developing our student leaders, we can support a positive impact on our local and global community. In the future, we plan on expanding and hosting our ISB Student Leadership Retreats to be facilitated by students for students twice a year.

DEIJ: Diversity. Equity. Inclusion. Justice.

Our inquiry continued this year into our curriculum, practices, and program. We learned more about how to support our students in their self-reflections and discoveries. We are committed to this ongoing reflection and action as a learning community so that perspectivetaking, appreciation for cultural diversity, and a sense of personal and social responsibility are nourished within our learning experiences for all students.

DELVE:

Discover. Explore. Learn. Volunteer. Enrich. The DELVE program’s mission is to create meaningful and transferable experiences that engage students in collaborative, authentic learning opportunities to deepen their understanding of local communities, cultures, and the environment by developing appropriate skills and attitudes through humanitarian action. This year our high school DELVE trips and experiences took place at the end of May. What a celebration it was to be able to bring these experiences back to life after the past few years.
