Decision Design’s Post

**Neuroscience confirms that exploration and curiosity feel great—so setting and working on a learning intention should be fun! Focusing on a performance goal too early can short-circuit your learning and slow you down, taking attention and energy away from the learning that will enable you to perform in the long term. **Psychology studies show that when participants are given something new to learn, focusing on the journey rather than the outcome appears to improve both enjoyment and attention, two things associated with high-quality learning. If you find yourself framing learning as a burdensome investment that pays off later, try to flip your thinking and focus on enjoying the learning itself, right now.

𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 I sometimes question the curricula of our educational systems. Do they truly equip us with the skills and knowledge we need for life? Let’s take this list of 10 life skills: 1️⃣ Leadership 2️⃣ Managing conflict 3️⃣ Emotional intelligence 4️⃣ Storytelling 5️⃣ Resilience 6️⃣ Task and time management 7️⃣ Financial literacy 8️⃣ Teamwork 9️⃣ Negotiation 🔟 Listening and asking questions I’ve also heard “filing taxes” mentioned a lot! That’s probably covered under financial literacy. 😅 Other key skills that could be added are managing health and well-being and living with Artificial Intelligence. If I had to pick my top 3 skills I wish I’d learned more about earlier in life, they’d be: 📌 Leadership 📌 Emotional intelligence 📌 Resilience It’s a tough call, as all of them are important. I’m curious: what would be your top 3? What skills are missing from this list? I get excited just thinking about a world where school curricula include such critical life skills alongside traditional subjects like math, physics, and literature. What difference would it make if these skills were taught in addition to how we learn them mostly - i.e. by observing and doing? If we want our educational systems to truly prepare young generations for life, I believe life skills need to be part of the curriculum.

I think sustainability or disaster resilience and preparedness practitioners especially in local government could benefit from these kinds of courses. Council staff are technically skilled and highly motivated but may lack the skills to put together an effective behaviour change program. A similar course in Behavioural Decision Making at UTS and self-directed study helped me to boost the Climate Wise Communities and Simtable program while I was at Ku-ring-gai.

We’re moving away from the concept of "average”. We are focusing on meeting students where they are. 🌱 Last year, inspired by Shelley Moore’s seed packets video, our Student Success Team developed strength-based success plans. This shift enables us to concentrate on each student’s unique strengths and interests, rather than solely on their challenges. Our goal is to meet students where they are and gently nudge them forward. This year, we’re refining these plans to align with International Baccalaureate (IB) language, connecting our goals to Approaches to Learning, and moving beyond traditional notions of “average.” We’ve also implemented progress monitoring to celebrate every student's journey. Our success plans include: 🌱 Identity 💪 Strengths ✨ Interests 🎯 Goals 🛠️ Needs 🤝 Supports 🚧 Barriers and Challenges We continue to measure core skills: 🔤 Phonics 📖 Reading Comprehension 🔢 Number Skills ✍️ Writing While this approach is still a work in progress, we are committed to fostering a more inclusive environment. Let’s champion a strength-based model that celebrates growth and potential in every learner! 🌈 Jess Andoh Julia Ramble Lex Hamilton Noah Pelletier ✍️ #Education #StrengthBasedModel #StudentSuccess #GrowthMindset #InclusiveEducation #IB #LearningJourney
