Haakenson<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During my first visit to Istanbul, I was intrigued by the number of well-fed and, for the most part, very healthy-looking cats roaming the streets. This sight was particularly intriguing, given my experiences living in ten countries across four continents; I had not encountered such a phenomenon. My curiosity was awakened, and through conversation with locals and Google searches, I learned that the presence of cats in Istanbul is deeply rooted in cultural and religious traditions.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cats hold a special place in Islam for their cleanliness and are often considered ritually clean, making them welcome in homes and even mosques. This reverence can be traced back to the Prophet Muhammad, who was known for his fondness for cats, particularly his cat Muezza. Cats are loved and valued for their practical role in protecting important documents from rodents. In Istanbul, this cultural affection extends to communal care, where locals collectively look after the stray cats, providing them with food, shelter, and water. This unique relationship between the residents and the cats showcases a blend of historical practices, religious beliefs, and communal responsibility, shaping the city&#8217;s distinctive approach to these feline inhabitants.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21898\" src=\"https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-6-scaled-e1715829494120.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"263\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-6-scaled-e1715829494120.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-6-scaled-e1715829494120-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-6-scaled-e1715829494120-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-6-scaled-e1715829494120-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-6-scaled-e1715829494120-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-6-scaled-e1715829494120-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 263px) 100vw, 263px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21897\" src=\"https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-5-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"467\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-5-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-5-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-5-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-5-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-5-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-5-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-5-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21896\" src=\"https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-4-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-4-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-4-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-4-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-4-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-SHM-image-4-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This deep-rooted cultural practice in Istanbul is a powerful metaphor for the transformative nature of education, reminding me of the importance of investigating our assumptions through observation and research. In an ever-evolving world, education as a journey rather than a destination has never been more relevant. As leaders and educators, our focus isn&#8217;t merely on what is known; it is also on the learning process. This paradigm shift from a fixed mindset of &#8216;knowing&#8217; to a growth mindset centred on &#8216;learning&#8217; and understanding is fundamental in fostering sustainable habits of the mind. It&#8217;s about accepting that change is the only constant and embracing the flux as an opportunity for personal, professional, and environmental growth. By adopting this shift, we empower learners to take control of their learning experiences and prepare them for a future we cannot entirely predict.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47899e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"47899e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Dynamic Nature of Knowledge\n\n<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1cab0ea elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1cab0ea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The world we inhabit is in perpetual motion\u2014technologically, environmentally, socially, and politically.

For example, while students learn a scientific concept, they also actively explore their learning methods\u2014be it through experimentation, research, or discussion. This dual focus deepens understanding and enhances self-awareness and adaptability in learning. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC9891138\/#:~:text=NLP%20is%20considered%20an%20assistive,et%20al.%2C%202022).\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 further highlights the importance of self-awareness, empowering students to manage their learning experiences actively.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e1ace09 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e1ace09\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Cultivate Adaptability<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ddc6aa4 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ddc6aa4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Classrooms should be dynamic <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ctl.columbia.edu\/resources-and-technology\/teaching-with-technology\/teaching-online\/flexible-spaces\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">spaces that nurture adaptability<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

By encouraging students to explore the reasons behind their observations with open-ended questions, educators can develop their critical thinking skills and prepare them for complex real-world challenges. This approach emphasises the importance of the learning process, instilling a sense of responsibility in students&#8217; roles as learners. For educators, fostering sustainable habits of mind involves preparing students for an unpredictable future by focusing on learning rather than mere knowledge acquisition. These habits teach students how to learn, think critically, and adapt, equipping them to thrive in a world where change is the only constant.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a216e8f elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"a216e8f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2dc969d elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"2dc969d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f82974e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f82974e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Author<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-96d103f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"96d103f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-55b62ca\" data-id=\"55b62ca\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a26a150 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-15384 elementor-widget-author-box\" data-id=\"a26a150\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"author-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/elainegreimann\/\" class=\"elementor-author-box__avatar\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Elaine-Reimann-new_square-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Imagen de Elaine Reimann\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/elainegreimann\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-author-box__name\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\telaine reimann\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box__bio\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Elaine Reimann is an experienced International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme educator with over two decades of global teaching expertise.
