Importance of Habits
“Your beliefs become your thoughts, Your thoughts become your words, Your words become your actions, Your actions become your habits, Your habits become your values, Your values become your destiny.”
Mahatma Gandhi
![Page 5: Introduction to 3CSN Communities of Practice](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681658b550346895dd85250/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Cognitive Science finds that….
Intelligent behavior is not just a matter of being able to store and retrieve knowledge (content)
Rather, it is how Habits of Mind are practiced
with content knowledge

So… What do we mean by
Habits of Mind?• An acquired disposition to
respond in particular ways when we don’t have a solution.
• The inclination, capability and commitment to particular behaviors that lead to productive outcomes.
Habits of Mind

Disciplinary Habits of Mind• History• Welding• Art• Composition• Math• Sociology• Nursing• Sciences• Business
What is your discipline?
What habits of mind have you acquired through your disciplinary training?
What mental routines or strategies do you employ when confronted with a problem?

California Acceleration Project
Katie Hern and Myra SnellCAP Co-Leaders
BSILI 2014
![Page 11: Introduction to 3CSN Communities of Practice](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681658b550346895dd85250/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
CAP supports educators to. . .
Increase student completion by redesigning their English and Math Curricula
– Shortening developmental sequences– Better aligning remediation with college-level
requirements: “Junior Varsity” college English classes, Algebra preparation for students in math-intensive majors; statistics pathways for others
![Page 12: Introduction to 3CSN Communities of Practice](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681658b550346895dd85250/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
CAP’s “why”Developmental courses sequences were intended to support the success of under-prepared students, but they are having the unintended consequence of weeding students out of college at high rates.
![Page 13: Introduction to 3CSN Communities of Practice](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681658b550346895dd85250/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
CAP’s “why”The lower students are placed, the more likely they are to drop out.
– 19% of students who begin 3 or more levels below College English complete a college-level English course in three years.
– Just 7% of students who start 3 or more levels below college math complete a transferable math course in three years.
• The pipeline is clearly broken!
![Page 14: Introduction to 3CSN Communities of Practice](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681658b550346895dd85250/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
CAP CoP helps faculty teach redesigned classes that. . .
• Replace decontextualized sub-skill exercises with just-in time remediation•Offer a thinking-oriented curriculum that is rich in collaborative practice•Use intentional strategies to address students’ affective needs

“Acceleration Means to Me”. . .

ResultsRP Group study of first 16 CAP colleges
found that in effective accelerated pathways:
• English students had a 2.3 times greater odds of completing college-level course
• Math students had a 4.5 times greater odds of completing college-level course

Why Reading Apprenticeship?• “Learning is hard. True, learning is fun, exhilarating, and
gratifying, but it is also often daunting, exhausting, and sometimes discouraging”– (Angela Duckworth, qtd in Tough)
• “The secret killer of innovation [learning] is shame. You can’t measure it, but it is there. Every time someone holds back on a new idea, fails to give . . . needed feedback, is afraid to speak up . . . you can be sure shame played a part. That deep fear we all have of being wrong, or being belittled and of feeling less than, is what stops us from taking the very risks required to move . . . forward” (Brene Brown, Daring Greatly, 65)

Reading Apprenticeship
• A partnership of expertise between the teacher and students, drawing on what content area teachers know and do as skilled discipline-based readers and on learners’ unique and often underestimated strengths

What are “Threshold Concepts”?
• First identified by Ray Land and J.F. (Erik) Meyer
• Examples:– History consists of a series of competing
narratives (History)– Language use constitutes meaning; it shapes
what we know and how we know and how we know it. (Writing Studies)
