Battle at Kruger - Shows Habits of Mind In Action

I saw this powerful clip recently, and wanted to share it with you. After reading about the Five Dimensions of Learning, I realised the clip showed a perfect example
of positive Habits of Mind(Dimension 5).

Jungle Animals practicing good Habits of Mind - (at least the buffalo do)

The buffalo showed critical, creative and self-regulated thinking.

• They were accurate where they needed to be;
• They were clear in their intentions and purpose;
• They maintained an open mind;
• They restrained their impulsivity;
• They took a position when the situation warranted it and they responded appropriately.
• They showed perseverance
  
• and they raised themselves to their limits and capabilities.

We could all learn a lesson from this video , in terms of never giving up.
