The old paradigm had as its main focus on skills/concepts/content. In today and tomorrow’s world, information is expanding at exponential rates so basic skills/concepts will not be enough. Richard riley, former Secty of Edcs states that top in-demand jobs in 2010 did not exist in 2004. new technical info doubling every two years

who continue their personal development and who promote the well-being of the larger community.

Ways to Integrate Habits of Mind

Starring Role! Supporting Role! Ensemble!

Presenter
Presentation Notes
As we explore how the Habits of Mind play out in this unit, I want to invite you to think through the lens of theatre. This is my daughter Jessica who is an actress in Seattle. Here, she is in the starring role in a musical called Ruthless. The Habits can star in a lesson, be a supporting player in a lesson or work in the ensemble. All are value added!

Key Concepts/ Key Ideas

Partners:

• Read selection on your own, highlighting key words or short phrases

• Take turns sharing and discussing highlighted items (h/o pp. 15-16)

Voices of Teachers and Students

Presenter
Presentation Notes
We have worked for many years now to embedded the HoM with our curriculum. What we teach represents what we value and we value preparing students as Art and Bena say for the tests of live. Let’s close by listening to the voices of our teachers and our students as they reflect on the importance of the Habits of Mind both in the curriculum and in life!

The future is not is not some place we are going but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made, and the activity of making them changes both the maker and the destination. -- John Schaar, political scientist
