Our Mind Growers Parent University curriculum is designed around the improvement cycle called praxis: ongoing action and reflection based on informed revisions. Our desired outcome is developing complex thinkers, inquirers, and collaborators to deepen learning for all stakeholders.

Our work is informed by Daniel Goleman's framework on Emotional Intelligence; Jim Collin's framework for going from Good to Great; Jane Nelsen's Positive Discipline framework based on the work of Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs designed to teach young people to become self-reliant, responsible, respectful and resourceful; as well as Arthur Costa & Bena Kallick's Habits of Mind, which are intellectual behaviors that can produce great results in school and beyond.

Habits of Mind include the following skills and dispositions:

• Persisting
• Thinking and communicating with clarity and precision
• Listening with understanding and empathy
• Managing impulsivity
• Gathering data through all the senses
• Creating, imagining, innovating
• Thinking flexibly
• Responding with wonderment and awe
• Thinking about thinking (metacognition)
• Taking responsible risks
• Striving for accuracy
• Finding humor
• Effective questioning and posing problems
• Thinking interdependently
• Applying past knowledge to new situations
• Remaining open to constinuous learning
