So how do you gauge your level of learning agility? What does it take to be an agile learner?
In a new CCL white paper, Learning About Learning Agility, Adam Mitchinson and Robert Morris, Ph.D., of the Teachers College, Columbia University, describe five facets of learning agility:
Innovating: Agile learners are not afraid to challenge the status quo.
Performing: Agile learners remain calm in the face of difficulty.
Reflecting: Agile learners take time to reflect on their experiences.
Risking: Agile learners purposefully put themselves in challenging situations.
Defending: Agile learners are simply open to learning and resist the temptation to become defensive in the face of adversity.
