Habits of Mind Inform Behavior

A habit is an “acquired predisposition to respond in particular ways.”

Arthur Costa and Bena Kallick identified 16 “problem solving, life related skills, necessary to effectively operate in society and promote strategic reasoning, insightfulness, perseverance, creativity and craftsmanship.”

In other words…these are the strategies we subconsciously use to help us overcome challenges.

Think/Pair/Share

Think about which circle you want to influence. What is one specific way you can foster productive habits of mind? What obstacles or challenges do you face? What resources can you use to overcome these challenges?

Find a partner. Share your ideas with each other. Can you think of additional resources your partner could tap into to effect the desired change?
