This post begins to look at the Sixteen Habits of Mind (developed by Art Costa) using the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. model. The S.U.C.C.E.S.S. model splits the habits of mind into:

* Sensorial

* Understanding

* Control

* Cognitive

* Exact

* Supple

* Silly

This post focuses on the "Control" habits, which include persisting, managing impulsivity and taking responsible risk. Each habit is looked from the perspective of a student and as a teacher. 

This is the first post of a series. The next post will look at the habits under cognition.

We may forget that humor may be used as an incentive for homework. Although this post is geared to homework (and therefore parents) much of it is applicable to the teacher in the classroom. With suggestions of different ways to use humor as well as links to a variety of resources available online there is much fun to be had as you explore this post!
