| Abstract: | Helping young people develop good hearts and good minds is key to developing emotionally healthy kids. Carol Ann Tomlinson lays out some principles for educators to both teach and practice as they guide students to becoming more human in their minds and hearts. Developing healthy minds involves more than simply building academic knowledge. It also involves living out these four propositions: Learning should nearly always be satisfying and often exhilarating. Making meaning of the world around us is central to learning. Working hard and working wisely are the secrets to mastery. All people have the ability to be creative. A good mind without a good heart can be destructive. These four principles can set students on the road to growing good hearts. Kindness is the air and water that humans need to thrive. We need to decide what we stand for and who we want to be. We must strive to be good members of the human family. We make our own memories. |
