Habits of Mind Research in effective thinking and intelligent behavior indicates that there are some identifiable characteristics of effective thinkers. These Habits of Mind are seldom performed in isolation, but rather, clusters of such habits are drawn forth and employed in various situations. Below are all 16 Habits of Mind, each with a tip, strategy or resource to understand and begin implementation in your classroom.

1. Persisting -sticking to a task until it iscompleted.

Identify characteristics of persistenceshown by individuals in well-knownevents

Imagine what might have occurred ifmore or less persistence was shown ina given scenario.

2. Managing Impulsivity -thinkingbefore acting.

Model the use of patience,including wait time duringdiscussion, or using helpfulsentence stems that reflectintentional choice.

3. Listening to Others-WithUnderstanding and Empathy –listening, understanding, andempathizing with someone else’s pointof view.

Model appropriate listening andhelp student identify the mostcommon “errors” in conversation.

4. Thinking Flexibly- considering alternative points of view or dealing withseveral sources of informationsimultaneously.

Use RAFT assignments (Role,Audience, Format, Topic) wherestudents must consider a situation,letter, speech or poem from adifferent perspective.

5. Thinking About our Thinking(Metacognition)- mapping out thinkingprocess.

Diagram the relationship between awant and a need.

Map out how characters from booksor thinkers in history might havearrived at certain starting or stoppingpoints in thought.

6. Striving for Accuracy and Precision -taking time to check over work.

Use “three before me,” a strategythat insists on any importantassignment being checked by at least three other people beforebeing handed in.

7. Questioning and Posing Problems- knowing how to ask questions to fill inthe gaps and asking a range ofquestions.

Create a “parking lot” area in theclassroom—stocked with post-itnotes—where students can postquestions.

8. Applying Past Knowledge to New Situations-being able to abstractmeaning from one experience and applyit in a new and novel situation.

Use questions stems like “What do you remember about. . .?”, “Whenhave you ever seen anything likethis?”

9.Thinking and Communicating withClarity and Precision- communicatingaccurately in both written and oral form.

Remind students to avoid thevagueness and abstraction—andimprecision—of terms like always,never, all, everybody, teachers, etc.

10. Gathering Data through All Senses-knowing information gets into the brainthrough different sensory pathways.

Allow students to “cite” sourcesfrom sensory data in addition to traditional textual sources.

11. Creating, Imagining, andInnovating –examining alternativepossibilities from many angles.

Offer persistent sources ofinspiring thought, design, art ormultimedia through writingprompts, discussion points orsimply as a daily class closure.

12. Responding with Wonderment andAwe-having a passion for learning.

Don’t just allow opportunities forstudent choice in topics, formats, orlearning pathways—insist on it.

13. Taking Responsible Risks-acceptingconfusion, uncertainty, and the higherrisks of failure as part of the normalprocess.

Create an environment where failureis analyzed, not punished.

14. Finding Humor-initiating humormore often, placing greater value onhaving a sense of humor, appreciatingand understanding others’ humor.

Point out humor where it is notimmediately apparent, especially instories and examples from yourown life.

Teach students to distinguishbetween situations of human frailtyand fallibility that are in need ofcompassion and those that are trulyfunny.

15. Thinking Interdependently- realizing that all of us together aremore powerful, intellectually and /orphysically, than any one individual.

Cooperative learning groups

Using digital and social mediaprovides opportunity forinterdependence.

16. Learning Continuously –always striving for improvement.

Revisit old ideas, writing andprojects to identify areas fordevelopment, improvement orrevision.
