Professional learning habits

At mme moe, our mission is to work out the habits of effective learners, and then see how we can operationalise those habits into functionality that everyone can use. We have worked with and interviewed business people, sportstars, teachers and principals to find out how they got to be as good as they are, and this is what we have found so far!

Reflect and Grow
They have a habit of continuous reflection. Effective people have a habit of having a good, hard look at themselves. They are serious about getting better because their professional lives depend upon it. They use this reflection to be continually aware and mindful. Many of them, including high performing athletes, keep a diary of their reflections. You can use mme moe's dial and the journal to develop this habit.

Connect and Network
They have a habit of connecting with people who can be useful to them or with people for whom they can be useful. The stereotype of the successful loner turns out to be not the case. Perhaps surprisingly, for effective people it is not all about them. Effective people have almost a service mentality and want to help other people. mme moe's plan sharing and feedback tools enable connecting.

Know thyself
Effective people leave no stone unturned to know their competence. If they are going to spend time and resources improving, they tend to work very hard to know their baseline competence – what they are good at and what they could be better at. mme moe's Know your competence tool enables teachers and principals to do this.

Use the data
Tracking competence is one thing: using the data proactively is another. Effective people can see the big picture and can identify their rate of improvement. They see things through a holistic lens that gives them an insight into the general trajectory of their improvement process. mme moe now enables you to check your big picture - check your reflective habit development; see the extent of your self-assessment of your competencies, and see how well you are doing over time.

Set reachable priorities
They strictly prioritise. They know that there is always a lot to improve on. It doesn’t matter how good they are, there are always things they know they can improve, but they also know that trying to improve on everything at the same time means that they don’t end up improving anything. They know the most important things they have to get better at, and they know the most urgent things they have to get better at. mme moe enables you to plan your improvement in one or two specific areas at a time.

Make good plans
They don’t leave improvement to chance. They plan to improve. They break down fundamental objectives to specific targets, and they know when they need to reach identified milestones. They know they can improve in bite size chunks, and that they don't have to take a course. mme moe has great functionality for this, including the option of sharing your plans with a mentor or colleague, and getting great feedback from them.

Access great resources
Effective people know that they can’t improve significantly without the support of their community. So they make sure they resource themselves by connecting to targeted material and people. mme moe's resource functionality delivers resources specific to your prioritized area for development.

Take control
And finally, they learn what they need to learn when they need to learn it. They use their agency to get on-demand access to learning resources. They can see their improvement over time. Well, that is mme moe in a nutshell!
