Describing the Habits 04/19/10 District Activity - 2010 A Habit of Mind means having a disposition toward behaving intelligently when faced with problems, the answers to which are not immediately known. Research in effective thinking and intelligent behavior by Feuerstein (1980), Glatthorn & Baron (1985), Sternberg (1985), Perkins (1985), and Ennis (1985) indicates that there are some identifiable characteristics of effective thinkers. These effective thinking characteristics have been called Habits of Mind These are what intelligent people do when they are confronted with problems, the resolution to which are not immediately apparent. There are additional ways of thinking and the authors challenge us to continue to identify them.

Introducing the Habits to your students

There is not one way to teach them.

Use the language and model the use of the Habits.

There are stages of development

Provide an overview activity.

Consider which Habits your students need most

Introduce one at a time.

Consider your instructional content and activities

Ask students to pay attention to Habits while working


HABITS OF MIND: STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT

The following framework is based on observations of students over the past 15 years. As students develop their Habits of Mind they seem to progress through several stages described below.

How might we define the word habit ? 04/19/10 District Activity - 2010

Dr. Costa asked this question: What traits would you like to see in your students?

List the characteristics and behaviors that you would like to see in your students as they learn each day?

04/19/10 District Activity - 2010 Share with a partner then share with the group.

How We Would Like All Students To Be Or Function:

Questioning

Reflective

Proactive

Independent leaders, thinkers, workers

Taking charge (having a plan of action, self directed)

Persisting (stick to it)

Venture forth with ideas

Make connections (interacting and learning with other leaders

Connecting - feel-think-act.

Complex thinkers

Creative

Inquisitive

Emotional strength (control)


Why / Why Not? 04/19/10 District Activity - 2010 Do you see these traits?

The Condition of Not Knowing:

To admit to not knowing is to risk vulnerability; to pretend to know is to risk error.

Corcocan, 1981

How might we define the word habit ?

Work together as a table group to develop a table paragraph to define, explain, and give examples of a habit.

Cultivate Thinking 04/19/10 District Activity - 2010 Give information to find a solution instead of telling the solution. Ask students to tell you about their thinking and encourage them to use precise words instead of generalizations.

More Ideas

I have successfully used The Habits of Mind with my fourth graders. We stress character education at Laurence, and I have found the Habits of Mind to be great character-developing tools. I have also integrated the Habits of Mind with literature. Once the students are familiar with the meanings of each Habit, I instruct them to link specific Habits of Mind to characters in the novels we are reading. They are asked to evaluate a main character's behavior throughout the novel and to choose two or three Habits of Mind they believe that character is using. They must provide passages of text that support their choice and describe in their own words exactly how that character is using a particular Habit of Mind.

What is excellence?

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit." Aristotle
