25 Practices That Foster Lifelong Learning - InformED

25 Practices That Foster Lifelong Learning - InformED | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From www.opencolleges.edu.au - October 17, 2014 9:04 PM

"Is your capacity for learning is fixed or fluid? Can you improve your intelligence and talents through hard work and practice, or are you stuck with the brains you’ve got? Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck says most of us have either a “fixed” or “growth” mindset when it comes to learning. Most of us can get through sixteen years of schooling regardless of which mindset we have, but when it comes to lifelong learning–learning for the sake of learning, without outside pressure–only a growth mindset will cut it."

Beth Dichter's insight:

We want our students to become lifelong learners? To become a lifelong learner it is essential to have a growth mindset. This post begins with a discussion of Carol Dweck's work on growth and fixed mindset, and moves on to provide 25 practices that help to foster lifelong learning. Five of the practices are listed below. There are an additional twenty in the post and each is explained in more depth.

* Begin with the end in mind.

* Create your own learning toolbox.

* Try new things on a frequent basis.

* Keep a "to-learn" list.

* Improve your memory.

Is learning required in your school? Most of us would emphatically answer "yes" to that question. But do your practices require students to learn? Have you established routines in your school that create learning opportunities for all students?

5 Simple Ways To Inspire Innovation In Learning | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From www.teachthought.com - December 1, 2012 10:51 PM

How can we make our classrooms more engaging, creating "spaces that help students connect, get inspired, and achieve deeper learning and better results."

This post provides five simple ideas. Each is followed with short descriptions. Three are listed below:

* Try out new teaching techniques, don't just read about them.

* Try out technology tools that allow you to work side by side with your students rather than positioned next to the board.

* Explore new learning opportunities by accessing a web portal and connecting with another classroom studying the same topic.
