Integrating the 16 Habits of Mind | Edutopia - 0 views

  •  
    "In outcomes-based learning environments, we generally see three elements in play: 1) learning objectives or targets are created from given standards; 2) instruction of some kind is given; and then 3) learning results are assessed. These assessments offer data to inform the revision of further planned instruction. Rinse and repeat. But lost in this clinical sequence are the Habits of Mind that (often predictably) lead to success or failure in the mastery of given standards. In fact, it is not in the standards or assessments, but rather these personal habits where success or failure -- in academic terms -- actually begin. Below are all 16 Habits of Mind, each with a tip, strategy or resource to understand and begin implementation in your classroom. The habits themselves aren't new at all, and significant work has already been done in the areas of these "thinking habits." However, in a 21st century learning environment -- one often inundated with information, stimulation and connectivity -- there may be a newfound context for their application. And a renewed urgency for their integration. The Habits of Mind by Art Costa and Bena Kallick don't simply represent fragments of practice to "add on" to what you already do, but rather new ways to think about how people learn."

The 7 Habits of Highly Employable People | Guy Arnold | LinkedIn - 0 views

  • Habit 1: Be Proactive
  • There is no such thing REALLY as unemployment: there are jobs for everyone, if they can only consider more ‘How to add value’ and less ‘what’s in it for me?’The REAL issue is ‘unemployability’ … in the mindset, skillset and habits of those looking for work : if this wasn’t the case, how would migrants ever stand a chance of getting work?
  • Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind
  • ...19 more annotations...
  • Don’t just go for ‘anything that’ll pay a wage’, stop and work out what you’re truly great at, and what you love, and then start asking: ‘How can I get paid to do this?’
  • Habit 3: Put first things first
  • find out what ‘employable’ means to your target employers
  • Physical: appearance and habitsMental: knowledge and skillsEmotional: how to communicate and focus on the real winSpiritual: what can you bring to the party that will make the world a better (and more productive) place!When you’ve nailed this, you need to start finding out information about organisations in your target area and sector, and what their issues are (that you might be able to help them solve)
  • Then work on your CV and interview skills
  • Habit 4: Think win/win
  • consider: ‘what’s the win for this organisation?’: ‘What can I help them stop, start or continue doing, that would help them get more of the wins that they want?’
  • Habit 5: Seek first to understand, then to be understood
  • Do research on your target market and organisations
  • where do they do well, and where do they fall down? What are their competition doing? What’s happening in the market … now … and in 5 years time? What do their customers think? What customers are they missing? What sort of people would they be looking for? And why?
  • then, you can approach them to see how interested they might be in talking with you.
  • Habit 6: Synergise
  • Employment is synergy: if it fails to be synergy in any way, then it’s going to be short term at best.
  • the ‘employee’ and ‘employer’ should both find their situations significantly enhanced by teaming up and working constructively together. Together everyone achieves more!
  • Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
  • You need to sharpen your saw to be considered worth employing
  • You need to continually sharpen your saw while employed
  • You need to continually sharpen the saw outside work
  • No one in their right mind employs a blunt saw, but sharp saws make getting results much more rewarding for both parties.

Adventures with Autism Works: Scandinavia, Crossing the Road, Mindfulness and Pragmatism - 0 views

  • mindfulness practice helps us to cope with coming out of our comfort zone and adapt to our surroundings, wherever we happen to be.
  • A change of location also enables us to notice our habits more clearly
  • a concept that originated in Denmark, Specialisterne, on which Autism Works is partially modelled, shows that Asperger's Syndrome can be applied pragmatically by applying its strengths and qualities to one's surroundings in a productive way that has benefits for the wider community.
