This is interesting for how to use the Habits of Mind matrix, but also in how Kumospace allows for an individual work-oriented approach where I’m no longer demonstrating, but coaching. Perhaps Kumospace encourages more working beside and less presentation from the front.
Looking for a way to identify your students' efforts and thoughtful work in this pandemic? Join us in a project to provide alternative measures for our students when "failure" and "learning loss" seems to be the narrative being written for our youth.

On TTT this week, we will send Habits of Mind awards to some of our students. This will seed the matrix with examples that students can follow.
Once we have given props to our students, it will be clear, we think, how to invite those same students to give back by finding a peer to recognize themselves -- perhaps working as pairs or in small groups.
These Habits of Mind achievement awards come from decades of theory, research, hacking, and teaching experience with digital portfolios, alternative assessments, and digital badges. We are beginning to assert that our awards engine on Youth Voice at https://youthvoices.live/habitsofmind is a tool that answers many of the questions we have had over the years about who can make, give, and approve badges and what they mean to students and teachers and to the outside world.
We are pretty confident -- after many conversations with colleagues and students -- that these Habits of Mind are a smart list of behaviors that matter to all of us. This is an alternative assessment and one that can matter. There's no hierarchy. Any member of the Youth Voices community can recognize any other member of Youth Voices for having demonstrated a Habit of Mind. (Teachers can rescind and delete problematic awards.) Any member of Youth Voices can create another Habit of Mind to add to this first collection of sixteen by Arthur L. Costa & Bena Kallick.
We have built an awards/badge engine that works the way we want it to. Any Youth Voices member can send a Habit of Mind to any other member, and there are no limits on how many awards can be made or how many times anyone can get a specific habit. And, the awarder's comments and links to work go with the achievement to that student's profile. All to say, that it works and it's pretty easy to do -- something we all need now
Are you ready to use the Habits of Mind https://youthvoices.live/habitsofmind matrix on Youth Voices to help create an alternative story about youth during this hard time?
