Educators' most important work is to help students develop the
intellectual and social strength of character necessary to live
well in the world. The way to do this, argue authors Bena Kallick
and Allison Zmuda, is to increase the say students have in their
own learning and prepare them to navigate complexities they face
both inside and beyond school. This means rethinking traditional
teacher and student roles and re-examining goal setting, lesson
planning, assessment, and feedback practices. It means establishing
classrooms that prioritize: Voice-Involving students in "the what"
and "the how" of learning and equipping them to be stewards of
their own education. Co-creation-Guiding students to identify the
challenges and concepts they want to explore and outline the
actions they will take. Social construction-Having students work
with others to theorize, pursue common goals, build products, and
generate performances. Self-discovery-Teaching students to reflect
on their own developing skills and knowledge so that they will
acquire new understandings of themselves and how they learn. Based
on their exciting work in the field, Kallick and Zmuda map out a
transformative model of personalization that puts students at the
center and asks them to employ the set of dispositions for
engagement and learning known as the Habits of Mind. They share the
perspectives of educators engaged in this work; highlight the
habits that empower students to pursue aspirations, investigate
problems, design solutions, chase curiosities, and create
performances; and provide tools and recommendations for adjusting
classroom practices to facilitate learning that is self-directed,
dynamic, sometimes messy, and always meaningful.
