The Learner Portfolio

The Learner Portfolio is an essential, mandatory part of the course. While it is not assessed, the IB reserves the right to request them. It is designed to help you to develop your self-management skills, to organise yourselves, and to arrange your portfolio of learning so that you can further develop through reflection.
