What are Learner Qualities?

Learner Qualities are those behaviors which enhance a student’s ability to learn. These behaviors are representative of a successful system of personal conduct. By emphasizing these qualities, we are helping students take responsibility for their own learning as they set goals and work to improve performance. A student who consistently works at demonstrating these Learner Qualities will often improve his/her content area achievement at the same time.
Learner Qualities are “life skills.” These are the same qualities that are essential for success in the workplace and in everyday life. By learning these behaviors now, students will be preparing for a successful future throughout their schooling and beyond.

The following descriptors are used to help define each of the Learner Qualities listed on the report card.

I Independently/Consistently
P Progressing/Usually
D Developing/Sometimes
N Needs Attention/Seldom
