Regina O Regina O (Jul 16 2022 6:07PM) : Thinking skills is what living on this earth is all about. I can get 100% on my math test, but if I do not know how to explain the operations, I will fail any problem where thinking is required. more

Ivan F Ivan F (Jun 04 2023 4:22PM) : Exacto¡¡, aprender memorizando no es la única opción more

Como lo mencionaste anteriormente, puedes sacar un 100% en un examen sin saber realmente los conceptos que te ayudaran en un futuro, puesto que en un sistema de educación actual no se aprende como debería, los alumnos están acostumbrados a memorizar todo en lugar de pensar por si mismos y comprender lo que están haciendo.

Marlen A Marlen A (Jul 15 2022 5:27PM) : I found joy and humor while recording my bio. It was an interesting and pleasant activity to do. Also, when I was recording, I was thinking about my thinking and adding more information to the bio I previously wrote.

Marlen A Marlen A (Jul 15 2022 6:13PM) : Now, that I have posted my multimodal discussion post, I recognize that I was "Creating, Imagining, and Innovating." Innovating." more

With this final activity of the unit, I discover that while completing the different exercises, I do not think about “The Habits of Mind.” It is something that, at the moment, happens unconsciously. However, it was at the end of the activity, when I needed to write about it, that I got to analyze how my brain was working.

Marlen A Marlen A (Jul 18 2022 7:05PM) : With this activities, I am becoming more aware of the use of the habits of mind that we (people) unconsciously have in our daily basic. more

While I was reading and commenting on “The Descriptive Review of a Child Protocol,” I was thinking flexibly and interdependently. Not everyone processes information in the same way. Being flexible is a tool I am incorporating into my thinking and understanding. I want to stop judging and start to understand. I feel that I think about my thinking all the time, especially when I have to comment on others’ work.

Marlen A Marlen A (Jul 18 2022 7:14PM) : Now that I had reviewed some of the collection of Descriptive Reviews of a child, I noticed that I was questioning and posting problems. I feel this way because I was focusing on the aspects of the description that was missing. more

Also, I feel that somehow, I was trying to apply what I learned during the reading into the reviews. I was looking for similarities.

Marlen A Marlen A (Jul 18 2022 8:59PM) : When I was creating the "Description of a Child" discussion post, I think about what other students would think when they read my post. Also, I was considering how they would receive the information I was posting. more

Honestly, when I was reviewing my draft, I was changing words to present my ideas with clarity and precision.

Marlen A Marlen A (Jul 18 2022 9:40PM) : I was commenting on one of my classmates' Bio, and I was reading using the 'Habit of Mind' of "Listening with understanding and empathy." I loved to read her Bio because I see myself in her experience living in NYC. more

Another ‘Habit of Mind’ that I used while completing the last part of “The Descriptive Review of a Child” while commenting on my classmate was “Thinking & communicating with clarity and precision.” I want my comment to be simple, respectful, and clear.

Claudia S Claudia S (Jul 24 2022 9:40AM) : Thinking Independently more

While writing my BIO, this habit of mind is the one I feel I implemented the most. Even though I was able to write the ideas I got from the reading on my own, reflecting and asking questions to my classmate helped me build a better understanding of what to do during this assignment. So yes, working on my own and with the help of others helped me make a better job.

Claudia S Claudia S (Jul 26 2022 6:42PM) : Thinking and communicating with clarity and precision. more

While reading Jacob’s descriptive review and later writing my child study, I was able to respond and share with details my case. More so, I was able to reflect on how to think and communicating with clarity and precision. Writing a report like such can take a lot of time and can be very consuming, that is why focusing on precise details and clear comments can help you when recorded this type of document. It is important to have a clear mind and reach for accuracy so that whoever reads the report can understand what you are telling them about the child and what is the purpose of such review.

Regina O Regina O (Jul 27 2022 11:07AM) : Claudia in your post you wrote: "It is important to have a clear mind and reach for accuracy so that whoever reads the report can understand what you are telling them about the child and what is the purpose of such review." more

I am exited with the interpretation of the HOM related to thinking and communicating with clarity and precision because you linked well, but I was wondering if the description could be applied to multimodal using visual, voice and sound making a video of the presentation. I think this is great post to be utilized during and oral presentation video. Great job Claudia!

Claudia S Claudia S (Jul 26 2022 6:48PM) : Thinking flexibly more

Thinking flexibly is the habit I most needed while creating a discussion. My goal was to create a post where others could reflect on but at the same time where my opinion was understood. I also took into consideration the post other people shared so that from there I could start building my own idea and response.

Regina O Regina O (Aug 02 2022 9:28PM) : Habits of Mind for the school community works best: Teachers, Parents, and Students more

The main objective of the innovative approaches are very clear when the author wrote: “Habits of Mind are dispositions people need to implement when confronted with problems and situations to which the answers are not immediately apparent” This implies that they are not just for teachers and students, they should be available for parents as well. Just like teachers dealing with students and parents, students dealing with the academic activities, and parents facing their children difficult challenges the Habits of Mind would be a great resource for all.
As educator of mostly minority students I have met families who need the school support in order to support their children education and by providing workshops to parents geared to the teaching of the different skills of the HOM, the complete school community will be involved in the new movement of teaching and learning these modalities. Together we can create a better population of learners.

while reading my classmates multimodal post and writing my own, I was able to reflect on this habit of mind. reading and writing the post made me think and ask myself the pros and cons of technology and how it’s been implemented in the classroom. it also made me realize the importance of providing students with a variety of materials that can help them learn through all possible approaches.

while writing the proposal I was driven by my senses and the feelings I got from the outside world. Observing the environment and collecting data allowed me to reflect on how other people may experience when confronting situations they are not familiar with.

Claudia S Claudia S (Aug 08 2022 1:13PM) : Thinking About Your Thinking more

This habit got me tremendously when choosing my avatar and creating my profile. At first, it was just a profile I was creating and personalizing with the things that I like, but then when I was asked why I choose the avatar picture and the cover pic It made me realized that sometimes we do things just to get them done without knowing that unconsciously we are reflecting our own persona on it.

Claudia S Claudia S (Aug 16 2022 11:35AM) : Creating, Imagining and Innovating more

this habit is the one that resonated the most while planning my proposal. I feel that thinking about ways on. how to help students learn about the habits of mind and how the skills needed to grow in such areas is a way of innovating myself in the way that I can reflect on my own mistakes too provide a better approach to my students.

Diana L Diana L (Jul 30 2022 3:44PM) : Metacognition helps us educators better assess our students. In doing so we can focus on what is important and how we can make it better. more

As you stated it will help us have a better lesson directed to our students and would bring awareness to monitor and modify our thoughts. Metacognition allows us to think more deeply and ask the question we otherwise wouldn’t.

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo, memorizar no es la única ni la forma más eficaz de aprender, e incluso es posible obtener una puntuación perfecta en un examen sin una comprensión real de los conceptos enseñados. Podemos ver que gran parte del sistema educativo se enfoca en memorizar información en lugar de fomentar el pensamiento independiente y comprender realmente lo que se enseña. En este sentido, es fundamental para nosotros reevaluar la forma en que se les enseña a los estudiantes, ya que eso influirá en su formación e incentivos posteriores. Aunque es más fácil apegarse a una práctica establecida, debemos abrir nuestras mentes y pensar en soluciones creativas y flexibles que aún permitan la comprensión. Con esto, podemos asegurarnos de que todos tengan la oportunidad de aprender de una manera que los ayude a crecer individualmente.

Christal P Christal P (Jul 15 2022 3:33PM) : In choosing my cover photo for Youth Voices profile, and asking myself why I chose it, it helped to focus on my own thoughts and feelings about how I want to represent myself/my profile more

I think it helps to think about your thinking, your feelings, and specific actions because we are constantly learning more about ourselves and it helps us develop the image or the aspects of ourselves that we wish others to know.

I used this habit of mind when responding to a Descriptive Review post by a fellow cohort member of mine.

It was an interesting challenge because we had to use a specific template for responding to our colleague’s work, yet what I had to say didn’t feel like it necessarily fit in that particular structure.

I had to use these questions, particularly the first one, to be able to really understand the process that I was participating in and to be able to then fit my thoughts into a particular mode of expression.

El resultado del exito es la perseverancia. En primer lugar definire el exito como “un éxito o resultado feliz.” como lo dice “RAE”, entonces nace una duda, la cual es “¿Como alcanzo el exito?”, el exito se alcanza con esfuerzo y dedicacion o mas bien “perseverancia” ya que hay que tener una mente fuerte para que no renunciemos a la meta pplanteada, no porque pase algo malo echaremos todo a la basura, tenemos que seguir de pie, probando todos los caminos posible utilizar un sistema de “prueba y error” hasta alcanzar el exito.

I might not be the best student or employee, but something that i do well is persist. Being persistance gives you vital experience. It allows you to learn from your failures.

The work produced while working on the Habits of Mind dispositions and the implementation with students in the classroom forced me to learn each of the sixteen skills.
While commenting on Marlen post I noticed that her work was on the implementation “Persisting” during her restorative circles in her class on Mondays and Fridays, She clearly presented the settings and steps on delivering the the activities. But I felt, that the problem of cellphones among others was a problem that many of the school teachers are facing today. I suggested her to watch a video on which the presenter demonstrates techniques and steps in conducting the restorative circles. The lesson was using these circles meetings to develop or enhance the skill of persisting and in the video and in the activities described in the letter of proposal.

The better you get at something, the harder it becomes to continue better at it. The further and wider you have to search for new answers and new questions.

It was important to me as I wrote my review of her to be as impartial as possible, and to simply be factual. This can be an incredibly difficult task to accomplish! Importantly, it has been a while since I last saw Amelia, and I did not spend time with her in a traditional classroom setting, but she was in the cast of actors I was directing at a theatre camp. As happens too often in education of any kind, teachers are warned about students before we meet them. Sometimes this is helpful, but it also can cause us to meet a student with negative expectations, and not to anticipate their growth as a person from one year to the next. In my descriptive review, I didn’t want to cause harm to Amelia’s reputation (though her identity would be hard to pin down for anyone who doesn’t know her), but to clearly mark my observations.

Jesse B Jesse B (Aug 03 2022 10:21AM) : I sometimes struggle with this one... [Edited] more

This week I had an assignment which challenged me in this particular Habit of Mind. I was supposed to write an educational proposal for a lesson plan, publish it on YouthVoices and then comment on several of my peers’ works. I did this, for the most part, but my own lack of attention to detail got me caught up in the final stages, causing me to have to go back over my own work.

There were some specific guidelines for discussion that I was required to follow, but I neglected to carefully study to the specific requirements. Although nothing bad happened, I did end up having to rewrite a comment in the more specific format that was specified. It was an example of how sometimes, the nitty-gritty details can get you — so watch out!

In contrast to the importance of accuracy and precision, I do also think that consciously employing the opposite approach from time to time can be a necessary, rewarding and fun endeavor. In a musical situation, for example, it can be often be entirely appropriate to employ a “loose” type of mindset. Such instances might include if you’re a composer and you need to paraphrase a musical idea, if you’re a soloist and you want to avoid a “rigid” type of sound, or if you’re an improvisor and you are striving for wide variation from a common theme. In these cases, a controlled, broad kind of inaccuracy is the name of the game!

I guess in the end, like anything, what does any skill mean without its opposite? What is repetition without variance? What is control without chaos? What is logic without irrationality? What is orderly without the disorderly? What is soft without loud, or high without low, wide without narrow, or sparse without dense?

To see your post and see that an inmate was actually able to turn his life around is amazing because not many inmates get the opportunity to redeem themselves and change. We all deserve second chances because we all learn as we go. We all make mistakes or bad choices and sometimes it may be due to the influence in our environment.

We are never done learning. Learning something may bring a struggle, but if we know the struggle may come we can come up with a solution before it comes so that we can continue if it comes. It is being ready instead of having to get ready. The out come of learning are greater than the struggle while we are learning. That is why we should press forward and let nothing stop us from learning.

I was thinking about this article — The Descriptive Review of a Child Protocol by Pat Carini and Katy Kelly (https://nowcomment.com/documents/207234). There was a very logistical question that I had shared with another reader — namely, that we noticed a significant lack of specific information on a key theme of the text.

Looking through the 7 strategies for questioning in this Habit of Mind, however, I realized that by asking questions that were more probing, I could still make sense of the Carini & Kelly document without necessarily having the particular piece of the puzzle that seemed missing.

I think that these 7 strategies can also be part of a more intuitive cognitive process. In other words, it’s not as though every thinker who implements this Habit of Mind is necessarily going through by wrote and consciously remembering to ask each of these enumerated prompts. But the strong thinker may naturally employ these types of approaches to reasoning anyway.

I had enabled captions as well, and in that way had provided an additional mode. It almost seems less likely that something is one mode and more likely that what we encounter is multimodal.

Essentially, I’ve been going through the Habits of Mind and thinking about how they apply to musical skills, and there is no shortage of connections.

These six important components of Thinking Interdependently — 1.) Establish roles, 2.) Test the feasibility of solutions, 3.) Listen closely, 4.) Agree on group norms, 5.) Be okay with disagreements, 6.) Learn how to give up on your idea when it is not working — could be read as a how to for successful ensemble management, no matter what musical style.

It is important for us as teachers/ educators to use language to help students grow in their thinking and communication. We have to introduce new ways for students to use language to communicate with one another. If we ask them who, what, where, when, why, and how, this will have them to dig deeper into themselves to give an explanation. In return this will help them grow in self expression instead of giving one or two word answers to describe themselves or their view point on something.

Labeling a child “a bad kid” is not only too broad of a statement, it is tremendously harmful to the student and provides no avenues for success. Saying, “I notice that this child screams and throws any items within reach at approximately 11 AM every day” is a clearer picture of what is occurring in the classroom.

I attempted to use this habit of mind when constructing an observation of a difficult student. You can view my account here — https://www.youthvoices.live/descriptive-review-of-a-broken-child-raheem/

In general, this HOM is necessary to function in your day to day as an educator, since you’re constantly meeting new students and encountering new challenges. One must relate them to what they already know.

On the other hand, in this particularly difficult school year, many veteran teachers told me that they had felt as though they were completely unprepared for the immense challenges. Almost as though they could not make their prior knowledge apply to the given situation.

I think that prior knowledge always relates to handling any challenge, but it may not always come together in a way that one expects.

Jesse B Jesse B (Jul 30 2022 9:24PM) : Using Past Knowledge HOM in making a HOM music lesson plan [Edited] more

I created a proposal for a music lesson plan which centered on the Habit of Mind “Thinking Interdependently” See the proposal here: https://www.youthvoices.live/docs/hom-proposal.. This was based on some musings from an earlier assignment (see: https://www.youthvoices.live/using-habits-of-mind-to-play-music-better/).

Although the content of the proposed lesson plan was centered on the “Thinking Interdependently” HOM, I found that I actually had to use more of the “Applying Past Knowledge” HOM in order to create it. That’s because it took a fair bit of piecing together old skills to figure out exactly how the more general metacognitive techniques of Interdependent Thinking specifically fit into music.

In order to do this, I had to constantly ask myself some of the following questions, “What musical experiences does this problem remind me of? How can I relate the principles of this HOM to musical situations that I’m familiar with? What parts of the problem of applying HOM to music could I use more clarity on?”

I have a fair amount of musical skills amassed over the years that made this assignment fairly straightforward. Namely, there was a workshop I took in my undergraduate studies in which we practiced creative music composition and improvisation techniques that came in handy. Relying on the way of thinking I practiced during this time of my life was quite helpful in this activity.

There were certain aspects of this lesson plan in which my past experience didn’t directly apply. Particularly finding some standards to use. Picking a desired educational outcome for my lesson planning is a relatively new skill for me, since I would describe myself as a process-oriented teacher.

“Gathering Data Through All Senses” This is an integral part of learning because when a students view, hear and touch what is to be learning, the acquisition would be easier. This is aligned with the multimodal concept since it requires for visual, auditory, and kinesthetic sensory elements to be present in a piece of literature to have a better impact on the learner. I also see the implementation of the development of his HOM in the 3-K centers as they interact with the different foundation activities.

We should take the risk. That is easier said than done with sone people and I understand that. Some of us do not take the risk because we start coming up with outcomes in our mind that have not happened yet. We begin to rehearse reasons why we should not instead of seeing reasons why we should. We should just go through and if it does not work out that is not working against us, it is working for us because now we know what will not work. Now we come up with a different solution and keep looking until we come up with one that work. Why stay in a place that’s not working when we can move and see what happens. The may not feel good at first, but it will work out for our good!

Diana L Diana L (Jul 18 2022 7:10PM) : Sometimes being a risk taker is what we need to exit the comfort zone and start focusing on what we really are aspiring. Sometimes we become to accustom or complacent in our jobs or in our daily lives that we gets stuck. more

I can say the opposite of being a risker is having fear. The fear of moving on to something new or being rejected. But honestly both are better. Moving on to some thing new means you learn a set of new skills just about in every way such our personal skills, life skills, professional skills and academical skills. Being rejected can also be good because it means you took the risk, you tried and can be and impulse one may need to keep aspiring and try again. Risk taking is not failing it’s learning to succeed and making you better to take even higher risks whether it is at a job or in school.

Regina O Regina O (Aug 02 2022 8:39PM) : Creating, Imagining, and Innovating "How to push the boundaries of your thinking" more

Understanding the Habits of mind will make a great impact on the teaching style of any educator. For example the traditional way of teaching a mathematic lesson on number operations takes a different dimension when it taught or delivered by HOM trained educator in contract with a traditional educator. I remember writing on the board operations such as : 4+5 =. 6+9=, and os on. Today, after learning the approach “Creating, Imagining, and Innovating”, I will use the “notice, and wonder”to illicit the students to be creative and imagine or to wonder about the task. Instead of giving them operational fact as shown previously, I will write two numbers on the board and ask them what do they wonder about the two digits without sharing their wonders aloud. Next, I will ask students what do they notice followed by an oral explanation. For example, if given the 4 and 5, some students may say that is 9, others, the answer is 20, or maybe one is even and the other is odd.
This is way to implement the Habits of Mind in mathematics. It is important that every answer should charted down on the board for the teacher and students to review each “notice” for correction or changes if necessary.

Today I made a comment on an interesting article that I read — An Interconnected Framework for Assessment of Digital Multimodal Composition (https://nowcomment.com/documents/312304). I gave some examples of how this framework could be used in music education.

“Thinking by using analogies” and “brainstorm unexpected ideas” pretty accurately described the mental process that I had to go through in order to actually draw these important parallels.

At first read, I had to force myself to think outside of the box to consider how these principles might apply to music. After I allowed myself to follow through with the idea, the connections were fairly evident.

I did not even know how strong of a connection there actually was until I allowed myself to get a bit playful with my thinking.

By saying something you can receive the help you need and help others. If you do not get the answers then go and search for it. If you look for it you will find it or find someone or something that will lead you to it. Even if you do not get the help from people continue to look and go after what it is that you need.
