Thank you for the gift of learning from and with you. Bill recognizes those who have contributed to his learning. Jennifer York-Barr who continues to amaze me by her connectedness and ability to make good things happen for educators. Thank you to Diane Zimmerman, Barbara Lawson, and Jim Roussin, the members of the GEL group who keep pushing my thinking in new ways. My appreciation goes out to Marney Wamsley who sent me to a Thinking Skills workshop in 1983 featuring Dr. Art Costa and Mary Oberg who introduced me to Dr. Art Costa. My life has never been the same. Finally, Skip Olsen. Who knew what mischief and learning we would generate when we met in 1995. What a ride and it is not over yet. Mahalo my friend. Skip acknowledges with deep gratitude and respect the contributions of Art and Bena made to his growth and to the field of education. You have had a most profound affect on my learning and on education. I owe a humble and heart felt thank you to the following people who have helped me interrogate reality through our thoughtful conversations: [ 4 ] HABITS OF MIND • David Evelo, my walking and lunch buddy, for our being able to talk deeply and honestly about everything; Chapter “X” rest on • Michael Ayers, Jim Roussin, Ron Petrich, and Amy Eggenberger have been my very special coffee pals that are this line at chapter breaks exquisite disturbers of the universe; • My colleagues in the progressive union and education movement Louise Sundin, Norm Moen, Bruce Waller, chapterstart below this line Sara Gjerdrum, Pat Reisinger, Katy Perry, Richard Wood, Marcia Averbook, Jenny Norlan-Weaver, Garnett Franklin and Christeen Gotsch move me with their depth of thinking, frank discussions and their commitment to public education; • The brilliant staff and students at Avalon Charter School who have shown me a wonderful and exciting new way to learn in the 21st century--thank you. And to my wife, Janet, who is always there when things aren’t going very well or smoothly, an unfathomable thank you. Bill, I don’t think either of us understood the extraordinary and exciting journey that was to come when we heard Angeles Arrien and Patrick O’Neill quote Rumi — ”To those whose job it is to wake the dead, get up! Today’s a work day!” Thank you my friend. Nameste! [ 5 ] HABITS OF MIND Must Become Leaders in Learning Chapter “X” rest on by Marilyn Ferguson this line at chapter breaks We can rationalize the failures of the past chapterstart below this line or we can learn from them. We can complain about the troubling inadequacies of the present or we can face them. We can talk and dream about the glorious schools of the future or we can create them. If we want children to learn to think and read, we must show them thoughtful people eager to take in new information. If we want them to be brave and resourceful, let them see us risking a new idea or finding a way. If we want them to be loyal, patriotic, and responsible, let us show them that we can be true to our deepest principles. If we want new and better schools, we will have to be new and better people. — from Towards a Quantum Mind [ 6 ] HABITS OF MIND Chapter “X” rest on Table of Contents this line at chapter breaks chapterstart below this line Introduction ................................................................ 8 Chapter 8 Applying Past Knowledge Habits of Mind Chart ..................................................11 to New Situations ................................126 Overview ....................................................................12 Chapter 9 Thinking & Communicating with Clarity and Precision ....................135 The Habits of Mind: Chapter 10 Gather Data Through All Senses .........143 Chapter 1 Persisting ..............................................52 Chapter 11 Creating, Imagining and Innovating ......153 Chapter 2 Managing Impulsivity ........................... 65 Chapter 12 Responding with Wonderment Chapter 3 Listening with Understanding and Awe .............................................164 and Empathy ....................................... 77 Chapter 13 Taking Responsible Risks ...................175 Chapter 4 Thinking Flexibly .................................. 88 Chapter 14 Finding Humor ....................................188 Chapter 5 Thinking About Your Thinking .............. 98 Chapter 15 Thinking Interdependently ...................199 Chapter 6 Striving For Accuracy ..........................108 Chapter 16 Remaining Open to Chapter 7 Questioning and Problem Posing ........ 117 Continuous Learning ...........................210 [ 7 ] HABITS OF MIND Chapter “X” rest on this line at chapter breaks Introduction chapterstart below this line ake no mistake about it—we live in a time not unlike Guttenberg’s, where fantastic tools remade the world over. MThe printing press made information available cheaply to everyone. And we observe the current revolution by casually referring to youngsters as “digital natives.” Truly, Neil Postman’s observation is even more prophetic today than it was 30 years ago: “Children are messages that we send to a future we will not see.” The digital tools available to this and succeeding generations is changing human beings and societies forever, just as the printing press did. Joel Garreau (2005) in his book Radical Evolution describes the future that currently exists. One university has taught an owl monkey to move objects with its mind. Yes, telekinetic energy. Another university has developed an exo-skeleton. Put this on and you can lift 160 pounds like it is 4.5 pounds. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency DARPA, an experimental arm of the government has created a pill to alleviate chronic pain. The pill will take effect in 30 seconds and last for a month. If you have chronic pain, this would be a great find. Would you use this pill on the sidelines of NFL Sunday? Would you use it on the battlefields of Iraq? The point is that we can do just about anything we want to. The question also is, “should we?” Business and industry know that creativity and good thinking are their lifeblood. High levels of good thinking and creativity will continue to be requirements of those who get hired in this increasingly technical and complex world. So, for educators, the question is what knowledge do we teach and how; AND how do we teach processes [ 8 ] HABITS OF MIND to support students’ using knowledge creatively and effectively? We believe the Habits of Mind so skillfully articulated by Drs. Art Costa and Bena Kallick are the necessary backbone of educational Chapter “X” rest on processes that are and will be foundational for an ever-changing future. We really do need this line at chapter breaks Neil Postman’s continuous learners for a future that we cannot see. observation “Sometimes it is easier to behave yourself into new learning rather than learning yourself into chapterstart below this line is even more a new behavior.” Knowledge is important AND insufficient. Pfeffer and Sutton (2006) wrote a prophetic today book on the Knowing-Doing Gap. Collectively, we know tons of stuff, but a question is are we using that copious knowledge to make a contribution to others and our institutions. than it was 30 years ago: Behaviors are learned by watching those who are in our environment. Behaviors are learned from those who take time to teach us new ways to do things. Behaviors that are repeated become “Children are habits. As with most things, habits can be positive (getting the results we want), habits can be messages that negative (getting results we don’t want), or the can be neutral (actions that neither move us we send to a forward or backward). future we will not Ralph Waldo Emerson admonishes us to: see.” “Watch your thoughts; They become words. Watch your words; They become deeds. Watch your deeds; They become habits. Watch your habits; They become character. Character is everything.” As you reflect on your life, we are sure you will see results you have gotten through sheer determination to be successful.

  • THE LITERACIES WITHIN ACADEMIC SERVICE-LEARNING By
    THE LITERACIES WITHIN ACADEMIC SERVICE-LEARNING by JENNIFER ELIZABETH AARON (Under the Direction of Robert A. Fecho) ABSTRACT As the mandates in education and demands placed on teachers increase, it is important that educators continue to utilize ways to teach children that encourage opening up our understanding of what learning means. Academic service-learning is one way of doing just that, by providing students the opportunity to take a critical look at their community and work with its members to identify and address a need. One key piece of this critical look, as clearly defined in the National and Community Service Act (1990), is “structured time for students to think, talk, or write about what they did or observed”—all important aspects of literacy. This study focuses in on what literacy learning looked like within an academic service-learning setting, where third grade learners were expected to question and reflect on the objectives being learned, rather than blindly learning said objectives for “the test.” Using a Freireian critical lens to focus qualitatively on nine literacy events in a third grade classroom engaged in an academic service-learning project, this study sought to answer: (a) What does it mean to take a critical inquiry stance on academic service-learning? What are the possibilities? The limitations? The challenges? (b) What are some of the ways that students use literacy—as critical readers, writers, speakers, thinkers, questioners, and reflectors—when they are asked to make connections across the curriculum, their

It is shortening your time horizon so you just have to get through this day. Endurance is living with unpleasantness. In fact, it is finding you can adapt and turn the strangest circumstances into routine. Endurance is fortifying. It is discovering you can get socked in the nose and take it. Above all, endurance is living with uncertainty. Sometimes it’s remaining quiet in the face of uncertainty because no conjecture will really tell you what is coming.

  • Holladay Dissertation
    ABSTRACT Jesus on the Radio: Theological Reflection and Prophetic Witness of American Popular Music Meredith Anne Holladay, Ph.D. Mentor: Christopher Marsh, Ph.D. The image of God in humanity is the image of the creator, the creative spirit, the imagination, manifest in our ability to understand, appreciate, and reflect on the beauty of God in creation. Therefore, the spirit of imagination, beauty, and creativity is intrinsic to the fullness of a life of faith. Art is a boon to a life of faith; additionally art and creativity allow for and create a space for genuine theological reflection. Arguments made about art in general can be applied to forms of popular culture. The foundation for this project explores the nuances between definitions of “popular culture”, and asserts that popular culture can be and often is meaning-making and identity-forming. The theological significance of popular culture is couched in terms of theological reflection and prophetic witness. The implicit assumption that anything dubbed “Christian” maintains theological depth, and creations lacking that distinction are ‘secular,’ or ‘profane,’ and therefore devoid of any moral good or theological import, is false, and a distinction this project serves in dissolving. The third chapter asserts a strong link between theological and prophetic tasks, one flowing from the other. Genuine theological reflection must result in an outward and public response. Theological reflection connects to the truth of one’s lived experience, and speaks honestly about the human story; out of that experience, voices of prophetic witness speak truth to power, out of and in solidarity with lived experiences.
