HABITS OF MIND
WHAT IS IT ABOUT YOUR STUDENTS THAT MAKES YOU THINK THEY NEED TO LEARN
HOW TO THINK?
? What do you see them doing?? What do you hear them saying?
? How are they feeling?? How would you like them to be?
HOW WE WOULD LIKE THEM TO BE:
Confident Take risk Think before acting Challenge assumptions Questioning Reflective Proactive Independent learners,
thinkers, workers Taking charge of
themselves (having a plan of action, self directed)
Persisting (stick to it) Venture forth with ideas Make connections
(interacting and learning with each other
Connecting - feel-think-act.
Complex thinkers Creative Inquisitive Emotional strength
(control)
SHARING THE VISION
Habits of mind attend to:
Value - choosing to behave intelligently
Inclination- deciding to use a certain behavior
Sensitivity- knowing when to use them
Capability- having skills & capacity to use them
Commitment- reflecting on improvement
Policy- promoting and incorporating their daily use
WHY HABITS OF MIND?
TRANSDISCIPLINARYAS GOOD FOR ADULTS AS THEY
ARE FOR STUDENTS
FOCUSED ON LONG RANGE, ENDURING, ESSENTIAL LEARNINGS
“HABIT IS A CABLE;WE WEAVE IT EACH DAY, AND AT LAST WE CANNOT BREAK IT.”
CURRICULUM MIND SHIFTS
FROM: Not only
knowing right answers.
TO:
Also knowing how to behave when answers are not immediately apparent.

HABITS OF MINDDiscussion
READ AND DEFINE IT IN YOUR OWN WORDS
GIVE EXAMPLES: WHAT DO YOU HEAR PEOPLE SAYING OR SEE THEM DOING AS THEY USE THE HABIT OF MIND
DESCRIBE SITUATIONS WHEN IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE THE HABIT OF MIND
POSE QUESTIONS INTENDED TO ELICIT THE HABIT OF MIND IN OTHERS
On a Chart:
TITLE CREATE A SIMILE: “…. (name the
habit of mind) IS LIKE A…..…. BECAUSE…….”
CREATE A LOGO OR SYMBOL FOR THE HABIT OF MIND
COMPOSE A BRIEF STATEMENT OR SLOGAN THAT SUMMARIZES THE HABIT OF MIND

“HOW WOULD YOU LIKE THEM TO
BE?”

.
Stick to it!
1. PERSISTING
Persevering on a task even though the resolution is not immediately apparent.
SHARE AN EXPERIENCE
IN YOUR LIFE IN WHICH PERSISTENCE
PAID OFF.
2. MANAGING IMPULSIVITY
Take your time!
Acting with forethought and deliberation.
Managing ImpulsivityWAIT TIME
“After having asked a question, the average teacher waits 1 second before either calling on a student, asking another question or answering the question him/herself.”
Rowe, M. B. "Wait Time and Rewards as Instructional Variables: Their Influence on Language, Logic and Fate Control. "Journal of Research, in Science Teaching 11, 2: 81‑84. (Spring 1974).
3. LISTENING WITH UNDERSTANDING AND EMPATHY
Understand others!
Devoting mental energies to understandingothers’ thoughts and feelings.
•Pause
•Paraphrase
•Probe• Inquire• Clarify
LISTENING SEQUENCE:
Pausing:
Using wait-time before responding
to or asking a question allows time for more complex thinking, enhances dialogue and improves decision making.
Paraphrasing:
Lets others know that you are listening, that you understand or are trying to understand them and that you care.
Probing:
Increases the clarity and precision of the group's thinking by refining understandings, terminology and interpretations.
THINKING AND COMMUNICATING WITH CLARITY AND PRECISION
GENERALIZATIONSDELETIONS
DISTORTIONS
DEEP STRUCTURE LANGUAGE
“SURFACE LANGUAGE”
Paying attention to self and others:
Awareness of what you are saying, how it is said and how others are responding; attending to learning styles; being sensitive to your own and others' emotions.
Speaker: Finish this sentence:
“AS I REFLECT ON THIS PAST SCHOOL TERM, I AM MOST PROUD OF………”
Listener: Use the Pause, Paraphrase Probe sequence
? WHAT METACOGNITIVE STRATEGIES DID YOU EMPLOY TO MONITOR AND MANAGE YOUR LISTENING SKILLS?
Speaker: Finish this sentence:
“AS I ANTICIPATE THE NEXT SCHOOL TERM, I’M MOST EXCITED ABOUT…….”
Listener: Use the Pause, Paraphrase Probe sequence
? What values are you expressing when you listen to one another so intently?
PARAPHRASE WHAT
YOU’VE LEARNED ABOUT THE, IMPORTANCE,
EFFECTS AND MENTAL PROCESSES OF LISTENING
WITH UNDERSTANDING AND EMPATHY

5. METACOGNITION
Being aware of your own thoughts, feelings, and actions and their effects of on others
Metacognition:
Think
Aloud
Problem
Solving
THINK ALOUDPROBLEM SOLVING
Pose challenging problems then:
Invite students to describe their plans and strategies for solving the problem.
Share their thinking as they are
implementing their plan.
Reflect on/evaluate the effectiveness of their strategy.
A friend is one
before whom I may think aloud.--Ralph Waldo
Emerson
POSE QUESTIONS THAT CAUSE THE STUDENT TO CHECK FOR ACCURACY:“How do you know you are right?”
“What other ways can you prove that you are correct?”
Pause and Clarify--(don’t interrupt)
“Explain what you mean when you said ‘you just figured it out’.”
“When you said you started at the beginning, how did you know where to begin?”
Provide data, not answers
“I think you heard it wrong; let me repeat the question.”
“You need to check your addition.”
RESIST MAKING VALUE-JUDGMENTS:
“So, your answer is 48. Who came up with a different answer?”
STAY FOCUSED ON THE THINKING PROCESS:
“Tell us what strategies you used to solve the problem.”
ENCOURAGE PERSISTENCE:
“C’mon, you can do it!”
METACOGNITIVE PROBLEM:
COMBINE THE FOLLOWING FOUR SENTENCES:
The horse jumped over the fence. The horse was gray. The jump was done gracefully. The fence was low and made of
brick.
IF THE SECOND LETTER IN THE WORD:
WEST
COMES AFTER THE FOURTH LETTER IN THE ALPHABET, CIRCLE THE LETTER A BELOW. IF IT DOES NOT, CIRCLE THE LETTER B.
A B
METACOGNITIVE PROBLEM:
METACOGNITIVE PROBLEM:
IF THE CIRCLE IS TALLER THAN THE SQUARE AND THE CROSS IS SHORTER THAN THE SQUARE, PUT A
K IN THE CIRCLE.HOWEVER, IF THIS IS NOT THE CASE,PUT A T IN THE SECOND TALLER FIGURE.
THERE ARE 3 SEPARATE, EQUAL-SIZE BOXES AND INSIDE EACH BOX THERE ARE 2 SEPARATE SMALL BOXES. INSIDE EACH OF THE SMALL BOXES, THERE ARE 4 EVEN SMALLER BOXES. HOW MANYBOXES ARE THERE ALL TOGETHER?
METACOGNITIVE PROBLEM:
Sustaining and Engaging Metacognition
1. Check for Accuracy2. Clarify3. Provide data not answers4. Resist making judgments5. Stay focused on thinking6. Encourage Persistence
7. QUESTIONING AND POSING PROBLEMS
How do you know?
Having a questioning attitude.Developing strategies to produce needed data. Finding problems to solve.

Questioning with Intention:1. Are invitational:
Approachable voice, Plurals,
Tentativeness, Invitational
stems2. Positive presuppositions3. Complex levels
PLURALS
"What are some of your goals?” "What ideas do you have?" "What outcomes do you seek?""What alternatives are you considering?
TENTATIVENESS
“What might be some factors that would cause……?”
“In what other ways could you solve this problem?”
"What hunches do you have that may explain this situation?”
Invitational Stems:
“As you recall….” “As you anticipate…….” “As you envision……” “Given what you know
about…….”
PRESUPPOSITIONS: Hidden meanings below the surface of language.
For example:
“Even Mary could get passing grade in that class.”
LIMITING PRESUPPOSITIONS
“DO YOU HAVE AN OBJECTIVE?”“WHY WERE YOU UNSUCCESSFUL?”“IF ONLY YOU HAD LISTENED.”
EMPOWERING PRESUPPOSITIONS
“WHAT ARE SOME OF THE GOALS THAT YOU HAVE IN MIND FOR THIS MEETING?”
EMPOWERING PRESUPPOSITIONS
“AS YOU CONSIDER YOUR ALTERNATIVES WHAT SEEMS MOST PROMISING?”
EMPOWERING PRESUPPOSITIONS
“WHAT PERSONAL LEARNINGS OR INSIGHTS WILL YOU CARRY FORWARD TO FUTURE SITUATIONS?”
Compose a question intended to invite one or
more of the habits of mind.Use the criteria:
