Sebastian!
The r=
eturn
of the Cambridge American Stage Tour for a performance of Two Gentlemen Of Verona =
on September 28 was an exci=
ting
fundraising event.
The s=
ixteen
members of CAST presented one of Shakespeare's most accessible play=
s,
with many comic elements (from the manservants Speed and Lance, and
Lance's dog Crab) and a timelessly relevant plot, revolving around
themes of youth and immaturity, loyalty and betrayal, and the
importance of friendship. <=

Rick =
Appel
and the SRHS culinary students prepared a delightful reception for =
the
CAST members and select audience members in Sharky's after the
performance. The following day, the CAST crew presented interactive
drama workshops for our IB students that touched on such topics as
stage movement, characterization, and learning Shakespeare's langua=
ge.
SRHS =
was
the only high school on the tour again this year...the other venues
included colleges, universities, and private theaters. Special
thanks to the Friends of IB, especially Pam Proctor, Andy and
Carole Bieber, Sandy and Wayne Rosser, Ella Chabot-Remington, and o=
ur
eight host families, for all of their tremendous help. We were able=
to
raise over $4,000 to support our IB program.

IB Spotlight=
:
The Learner Profile
![3D"IB](3D"December17_files/image013.jpg")
The key to student success in all IB programm=
es
is the IB learner profile-a 10-point summa=
ry
of the qualities IB students need to develop in orde=
r to
be truly internationally-minded. The attributes and descriptors of t=
he
learner profile define the type of student the IB hopes to
develop through its programmes.
As
a key cross-programme component, the learner profile is the central
tenet of the
IB programmes. It is not
intended to be a profile of the perfect student but be considered a=
s a
roadmap in pursuit of lifelong learning. The learner
profile places the student at the heart of IB programm=
es
and focuses attention on the processes and the outcomes of learning=
.
At
its most basic, the learner profile provides a long-term vision of
education and is a set of ideals that can inspire, motivate and foc=
us
the work of schools and teachers. The profile depicts students
as:· Inquirers · Knowledgeable · Thinkers &mid=
dot;
Communicators · Principled · Open-minded · Car=
ing
· Risk-takers · Balanced · Reflective.<=
span
style=3D'font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#53AC18'>
In
an IB student's educational experience, these qualities are develop=
ed
at increasingly sophisticated yet appropriate levels. The learner
profile gives students, parents, and educators a common language for
evaluating students' growth in and between programmes. http://www.ibo.org/actionkits/documents/EL_Learner_Profile_000.pd=
