Dimension 5 of the Dimensions of Learning framework is Habits of Mind.
There are numerous "habits" that
could assist our learners. We have chosen to implement the 16 Habits of Mind
based on the work of Arthur Costa and Bena Kallick. For more information about
these habits, visit the Habits of Mind Institute.
Consistent with and emanating from our College Vision and Values Statement, we also emphasise 16 "Habits of Spirit".
