6. Intentionally Build Habits of Character<\/h2>\n

On top of lesson planning, grading papers and professional development, teachers are expected to strengthen students\u2019 interpersonal skills and positive character traits. In personalized learning experiences, thoughtfully designed learning environments that grant students more freedom, shift some of the responsibility from educators to learners and encourage the development of positive qualities like perseverance, accountability and curiosity.<\/p>\n

For students to succeed in personalized learning environments, they need to develop qualities like resilience and integrity, and skills like conflict resolution. In addition to modeling these behaviors, teachers can strengthen students\u2019 interpersonal skills and character development by naming and explaining character traits, providing opportunities to work without explicit oversight and reinforcing positive behaviors.<\/p>\n

Methods<\/h3>\n

Thoughtfully consider each interaction<\/strong> with a student as an opportunity to practice habits of character.<\/p>\n

Choose rewards<\/strong> that reinforce and celebrate desired habits and behaviors.<\/p>\n

Introduce learning challenges<\/strong> that encourage students to practice habits of character like curiosity, self-management or growth mindset.<\/p>\n

Story from the Field<\/strong>
\nOne school Steelcase Education researchers visited is trying to develop independent, resourceful students. They call their students \u201cheroes\u201d and the teachers \u201cguides.\u201d If a student asks, \u201cWhen did World War II end?\u201d the guide will answer the question with another question, \u201cWhere might you find that information?\u201d Educators in this school empower students with information literacy and self-sufficiency as well as help them learn important facts and figures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
