Lesson 1: Habits of Mind Survey

This lesson we talked briefly about the WISE project and took a habits of mind survey. We had to answer 35 questions on various topics which were unknown at the time. You had to tick one of the boxes which they each gave a different score. Option 1 was 'always' which gave you a score of 4, option 2 was 'often' which gave you a score of 3, option 3 was 'sometimes' which gave you a score of 2 and then option 4 was 'rarely or never' which gave you a score of 1. There were 8 topics in which you could get maximum points for each being 20 points. For striving for accuracy I got 18 points, for managing impulsivity I got 20 points, for persistence I got 17 points, for metacognition I got 16 points, for listening with empathy and understanding I got 17 points, for taking responsible risks I got 12 points and for applying past knowledge to new situations I got 13 points. The areas that I need to improve on are taking responsible risks and applying past knowledge to new situations. I will work on these habits throughout the year.
