Expert Habits

Experts practice common habits. Among them are…

  • Asking good questions
  • Breaking problems into parts
  • Looking for patterns
  • Relying on evidence
  • Considering other perspectives
  • Following hunches
  • Using familiar ideas in new ways
  • Collaborating with others
  • Welcoming critique
  • Revising repeatedly
  • Persisting
  • Seeking new challenges
  • Knowing yourself

Looking at this list, I can’t help but ask if we are explicitly teaching these habits to our students? How do you teach these in your professional position?
