Ownership and Innovation

I know that I have been saying this in all of my resent posts but Innovation and ownership are very similar. I think that Ownership is hard to master. It becomes much easier after you master innovation. If you aren't proud of your work you won't want to take ownership. However if you can get innovation down first all of your work will be new and interesting. This will make it so much easier for you to be proud of your work, and in turn it will be easier for you to take ownership of all of your work.

Like I said before, lately I have been saying that all of the habits of mind are very similar. However some of them were hard to put together. The hardest I think was Evidence and Wonder. I mean that is like trying to find a concrete way to connect subjectivity and objectivity. They are nearly opposites. It took a lot of innovation on my part to come up with a way that they are similar. Innovation is important at our school. Our school has always been innovative and ahead of the curve. In order to be effecftive in this school you have to be innovative in all your projects.

Pardon my repeating myself, But, After you become innovative in your work you will be more likely to take ownership of it. This school is specially designed to prepare you for the real world. If you go out into the world and you don't know how to take ownership of your work you will never be able to operate as an effective member of society.
