Habits of Mind
Art Costa’s Habits of Mind
Habits of Mind are a set of intellectual behaviours, which require discipline of the mind.
They are regularly practiced in order to become habitual.
By utilising Habits of Mind, learnerscan develop a set of behaviours they can draw upon, when faced with problems or challenging situations.
Habits of Mind (HOM) provide several areas of exploration, in order to develop a ‘growth mind-set’.
Address the need to develop positive dispositions to learning in our learners.
Must be introduced consistently, progressively & uniformly, throughout the school.
Built on more than thirty years of research, the Habits of Mind provide a framework for learner on an understanding of what qualities allow people to be successful, regardless of their career or focus in life.
Through an internalisation of these behavioural patterns, it is projected that children will find themselves equipped to handle a variety of professional and personal situations throughout their lives.
