  • h, cultivate, observe, and assess. The intent is to help students get into the habit of behaving intelligently. A Habit of Mind is a pattern of intellectual behaviors that leads to productive actions.
  • Persisting
  • Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they never quit. —Conrad Hilton
  • ...28 more annotations...
  • Managing Impulsivity
  • Listening with Understanding and Empathy
  • Highly effective people spend an inordinate amount of time and energy listening (Covey, 1989).
  • Senge, Roberts, Ross, Smith, and Kleiner (1994) suggest that to listen fully means to pay close attention to what is being said beneath the words—listening not only to the "music" but also to the essence of the person speaking; not only for what someone knows but also for what that person is trying to represent
  • our inclination and ability to find problems to solve.
  • Thinking Flexibly
  • Flexible thinkers display confidence in their intuition
  • They tolerate confusion and ambiguity up to a point, and they are willing to let go of a problem, trusting their subconscious to continue creative and productive work on it. Flexibility is the cradle of humor, creativity, and repertoire. Although many perceptual positions are possible—past, present, future, egocentric, allocentric, macrocentric, microcentric, visual, auditory, kinesthetic—the flexible mind knows when to shift between and among these positions
  • Thinking About Thinking (Metacognition)
  • Striving for Accuracy
  • Whether we are looking at the stamina, grace, and elegance of a ballerina or a carpenter, we see a desire for craftsmanship, mastery, flawlessness, and economy of energy to produce exceptional results
  • Questioning and Posing Problems
  • Generative listening is the art of developing deeper silences in oneself, slowing the mind's hearing to the ears' natural speed and hearing beneath the words to their meaning
  • Applying Past Knowledge to New Situations
  • Thinking and Communicating with Clarity and Precision
  • Gathering Data Through All Senses
  • Creating, Imagining, Innovating
  • Creative people are open to criticism. They hold up their products for others to judge, and they seek feedback in an ever-increasing effort to refine their technique. They are uneasy with the status quo. They constantly strive for greater fluency, elaboration, novelty, parsimony, simplicity, craftsmanship, perfection, beauty, harmony, and balance.
  • Responding with Wonderment and Awe
  • Taking Responsible Risks
  • Finding Humor You can increase your brain power three to fivefold simply by laughing and having fun before working on a problem. —Doug Hall
  • Thinking Interdependently
  • Collaborative humans realize that all of us together are more powerful, intellectually or physically, than any one individual
  • Working in groups requires the ability to justify ideas and to test the feasibility of solution strategies on others
  • t also requires developing a willingness and an openness to accept feedback from a critical friend. Through this interaction, the group and the individual continue to grow. Listening, consensus seeking, giving up an idea to work with someone else's, empathy, compassion, group leadership, knowing how to support group efforts, altruism—all are behaviors indicative of cooperative human being
  • Remaining Open to Continuous Learning
  • Intelligent people are in a continuous learning mode
  • They are invigorated by the quest of lifelong learning. Their confidence, in combination with their inquisitiveness, allows them to constantly search for new and better ways. People with this Habit of Mind are always striving for improvement, growing, learning, and modifying and improving themselves. They seize problems, situations, tensions, conflicts, and circumstances as valuable opportunities to learn (Bateson, 2004).

      This is really a great idea and one that I will keep in mind as my course evolves. I really enjoy writing myself and watching students write creatively, so this might be something I'd want to incorporate into my course eventually.

    As humans, we are all so different, yet so much alike. It is interesting to think that all people can possibly be characterized into 7 or 8 archetypes.

    "Teaching is the arrangement of contingencies of reinforcement under which students learn. They learn without teaching in their natural environments, but teachers arrange special contingencies which expedite learning, hastening the appearance of behavior which would otherwise be acquired slowly or making sure of the appearnce of behavior which otherwise would never occur. (Skinner, 1968, pg. 64) "
