21. Describing the Habits 04/19/10 District Activity - 2010 A Habit of Mind means having a disposition toward behaving intelligently when faced with problems, the answers to which are not immediately known. Research in effective thinking and intelligent behavior by Feuerstein (1980), Glatthorn & Baron (1985), Sternberg (1985), Perkins (1985), and Ennis (1985) indicates that there are some identifiable characteristics of effective thinkers. These effective thinking characteristics have been called “Habits of Mind” These are what intelligent people do when they are confronted with problems, the resolution to which are not immediately apparent. There are additional ways of thinking and the authors challenge us to continue to identify them.

Lenoir County Public Schools 04/19/10 Professional Development - 2010 Finger Assessment – Use the hand – Handout and ask the participants to write on the number of fingers to show what they know about the topic. If they know nothing, then they will leave their hand and fingers blank. If they rate themselves as “1” they will write on one finger of the hand. IF “2” then they will write on two fingers. And so on… When finished they should put their names on the back of the paper (so that it does not show when they post them.) Then they can be posted. Teacher should read each before allowing them to share aloud to avoid having wrong/incorrect information repeated to all students.
