I was recently at Westbourne Park Primary School in Adelaide South Australia where I presented a Habits of Mind Learning Community of Excellence Award to the school. During the presentation the principal, David Adams, outlined the evidence he has collected that shows the significant impact the Habits of Mind have had on the schools literacy and numeracy results.
Sophie is a Year 5 student at Wilderness College in South Australia. She has written the most beautiful story about the Habits of Mind and the value she sees in them. The way she integrates humour and the insightfulness she shows about the Habits of Mind is truly remarkable.
