Session 1: Creating a Sense of Well-Being in Your Classroom: Integrating the Habits of Mind into Your Classroom
Given the challenges of today’s classroom, fostering a sense of well-being has never been more important. How can we shift the culture of our classroom to engage students in developing dispositions that support their learning? How can we help them in their relationship with other students? The Habits of Mind is a time-tested approach to cultivating a positive and productive learning environment that supports the development of an academic mindset. Instead of viewing the Habits of Mind as a separate part of the school day, integrating these dispositions into curriculum planning is critical to increasing their power. How might we layout curriculum at all levels to embed and to cultivate the Habits of Mind? What choices do educators have to reinforce the power of the Habits of Mind in curriculum and lesson planning?

Learning outcomes:
  • Examine the Habits of Mind as an approach to develop a sense of well-being.
  • Consider ways to develop an academic mindset in our learners using the Habits of Mind.
  • Design curriculum and lesson plans that integrate the Habits of Mind.
Session 2: Students as Self-Assessors and Partners in Learning: Improving Feedback Protocols with the Habit of Mind
Social and emotional well-being stems from a sense of connection and confidence. When students trust their teachers and value the feedback, they are receptive to improving their competence and improving their performance. How can we engage our students as partners as they assess the work they produce? In this session, we will walk through strategies and protocols to engage students as self-assessors working alongside their teachers to help them grow academically and strengthen their perception of themselves as capable and competent learners. We will provide strategies for how to co-create rubrics that students may use to evaluate their work. Through the Habits of Questioning and Listening With Understanding and Empathy, we will examine ways to improve the quality of feedback and interaction with learners.

Learning Outcomes:
  • Demonstrate ways to improve the quality of feedback in our communications and interactions with students.
  • Engage in how to co-create purposeful rubrics with our students to evaluate their work.
  • Examine how to develop students as self-assessors of their own learning.
