Each week, we will examine a different habit that could be taught in the classroom and how that particular habit could help you create a effective learning environment in the diverse classroom of today. Give examples, experiences, opinions, and how you would teach the habit to your students. You may also wish to share how you use this habit.   

Managing Impulsivity

"....goal directed self-imposed delay of gratification is perhaps the essence of emotional selfregulation:

the ability to deny impulse in the service of a goal, whether it be building a business,

solving an algebraic equation, or pursuing the Stanley cup.

Daniel Goleman Emotional Intelligence (1995) p. 83

Effective problem solvers have a sense of deliberativeness: They think before they act. They

intentionally form a vision of a product, plan of action, goal or a destination before they

begin. They strive to clarify and understand directions, develop a strategy for approaching a

problem and withhold immediate value judgments about an idea before fully understanding

it. Reflective individuals consider alternatives and consequences of several possible

directions prior to taking action. They decrease their need for trial and error by gathering

information, taking time to reflect on an answer before giving it, making sure they understand directions, and

listening to alternative points of view.

Often students blurt the first answer that comes to mind. Sometimes they shout out an answer, start to

work without fully understanding the directions, lack an organized plan or strategy for approaching a problem

or make immediate value judgments about an idea—criticizing or praising it— before fully understanding it.

They may take the first suggestion given or operate on the first idea that comes to mind rather than

considering alternatives and consequences of several possible directions.
