Three Habits of Mind Think of three habits which you would like to see in a child, habits that would help the child be successful/effective in life

Habits of Mind How important are these habits for success or being effective in life: More imp than academics or equally imp or less imp? If more or equally important – then how are we ensuring that these get developed in the child

Help me in my design Make a design out of outline of five circles – could be a flag for yourself, a design for your t-shirt, curtain, a rocket – anything. Now each of these five circles need to be “filled” by somebody other than you. They can fill however they want. When filling for somebody else – explore different textures, patters, styles, motifs etc.

How was your interaction? Give a Pink band if it was Creative (left hand) Give a Blue band if it was done with Responsibility (left hand) Give a Green band if the person was receptive and listening to your ideas(left hand)

The Habits of Mind

The activities they do are not important – how they do it is important. Their emotions are their experiences – do not assuage them – but encourage them to find their own ways to deal with it. Their analysis is their understanding – so don’t do it for them (as don’t give gyan) rather facilitate it by lending an active ear. Habits of Mind
