Discover Who You Are as a Learner
This tool helps you discover your identity as a thinker by helping you develop seven core learning dispositions that power all great thinking. Whether someone becomes a brilliant scientist, creative artist, insightful historian, or innovative mathematician, they all draw on the same fundamental learning powers.
The Magnificent Seven Learning Dispositions:
Curiosity • Persistence • Imagination • Attention • Thinking • Collaboration • Craftsmanship
Here's the powerful secret: when you choose to be curious like a scientist, persistent like an athlete, or imaginative like an artist, you're not just solving problems – you're becoming someone who thinks like them. You're developing your identity as a learner who can think like an expert in any field.
How Each Disposition Works Through Head, Heart & Hand
Each learning disposition can be expressed in three different ways, and every field uses them uniquely:
- Hand: Action and doing – how scientists experiment, artists create, or mathematicians build with materials. Your hands engage your thinking through making and moving.
- Heart: Emotion and motivation – how historians connect personally with stories, or writers find meaning in their work. Your heart drives your passion and purpose.
- Head: Analysis and deep thinking – how scientists look for patterns, artists study composition, or historians examine evidence. Your head connects and sharpens ideas.
🌟 The magic happens when: You choose a learning disposition (like curiosity) in a subject (like science) and discover specific ways to express it through your head, heart, and hands. This is how you develop your identity as someone who can think like a scientist, artist, historian, or mathematician.
