This is my version of a poster that comes from Lee Canter on Habits of the Mind(AKA Behavior of Intelligence). There are at least 16 behaviors of intelligence and I try to teach them every day in my classes. This is the 3rd poster I use continually in my classes. Here is the gap between what a student knows and what they show. I am always trying to teach my students these behavior so they can achieve at 100% on test. I can teach them 100% of the material and they can even learn 100% of the material, but these behaviors are mandatory for them to perform and achieve at 100%. Again I am teaching more than math here, these are life skills and habits. I believe the most important one is Striving for Accuracy. I changed it to PASSIONATELY STRIVING FOR ACCURACY as I have already talked about in a previous post. As I explain new material, check for understanding, correct homework, do warm ups, give notes, students do share pair or anything... I am always making connections with what we are doing to this and the other 3 posters. I will be discussing, in detail most all of these habits in the weeks and months ahead. Here they are to chew on for now. Enjoy!
