What about Habits of Mind in Other Languages

If you’d like to see these Habits of Mind posters produced in other languages, simply send me the translations, with the English equivalent, of:
  1. Name of the Habit
  2. Catch Phrase
  3. Definition in the language you’d like to see produced, and I’ll arrange for them to be made using the above posters as the template.
I’d love to see this section grow! How many languages can we collect? Send the translation

    A colleague gave me the article describing the 16 habits of mind and it was excellent. It compliments two other processes we have at our elementary school. They are: 7 Habits of Happy Kids and Neurodevelopment/ Metacognition (my M.Ed. concentration). Thank you!!!

    • James Anderson

      Hi Kim, you’re welcome. I’d love to hear more about the 7 Habits of Happy Kids. Is that related to Covey’s 7 Habits?

  • Tim Hill

    Thank you

  • Binti

    Hi James!
    In extension to Kim’s comment on is 7 H of happy kids related to Covey’s 7 H. Yes it is. it is written by Jr Covey and tells us of how & H can be implemented in young children. It’s the same Habits re-framed with age relevant examples.

    thanks

    Great materials.

    Whoever organizes habits of mind should contact private institutions or try Bill Gates. Public schools seldom have the vision and independence to recognize great ideas outside of mainstream education. They simply, by in large, blame different grades for students’ lack of preparation, do not take any initiative as they are overwhelmed with responsibilities beyond their control, and teachers are usually unmotivated to change their teaching routines.

    Your ideas are fundamental for the future of our students’ critical thinking as they focus on the consciousness of learning rather than how comfortable teachers make the act of learning.

    Also, private funds could be used to open centers where students can go and discover how to think. There is a huge starving crowd of parents who would seriously consider habits of thinking as after school activity for their children.

    Unfortunately, there are no theorists with enterprising ambitions. Ergo, we are constantly back to the beginning waiting for the perfect storm to happen.

    I love your stuff.

    • Carol Wethington

      My school district is embracing the Habits of Mind whole-heartedly and 100%! We are excited that we seem to have discovered the “what’s missing?” piece since we do pretty well with content. The thought that we will be moving all students into being learners has revitalized us!

  • Juli Cobb

    I use Habits of Mind in all my classes as the underlying common language for skill building. Thanks for the posters and great informational ‘stuff’ to help get this wonderful life learning curriculum in more classrooms! My current project with my language arts special ed kids is a HOM poster design project where they work in pairs learning and teaching their chosen habit in sign language. They are loving it…..

    • James Anderson

      Wow Juli, that sounds really exciting. I’d love to see some images or video of the kids signing the Habits. Somewhere in the Resource Library there’s a copy of the HOM in sign done by a school for the deaf that I worked with in Melbourne many years ago.

      All the best

      James

    Thanks.

    (is a version in full color available? Color brings greater impact and interest!)

    • James Anderson

      Hi Doug,

      there are colour posters available in the store, but what most teachers do (including myself) is to print these black and white ones onto coloured paper.

    Thank you

  • Lewis Cartwright

    These look fantastic. Thanks.

  • Lsura

    I’ve got a set of pretty gifted students this year, students who are used to “being smart” without much effort, and it stunts their intellectual energy. They don’t see their habits as being part of the equation, and I hope this will help that change.

  • valerie neuharth

    Can I get a copy of the posters?

    • James Anderson

      HI Valerie,
      yes, you’re welcome to download a set of the posters. I notice you’ve used a hotmail account. For some reason hotmail seems to block the delivery of the posters. Please try another account.

    I looked in the store for the color posters, and all I could find was one poster with all the color icons. Do you have the individual posters for each habit in color?

    • James Anderson

      We are currently looking at producing a set of posters like this. Keep an eye on our facebook and email for samples for people to tell us what’s going to work best for them
