Before joining LINC when I think about generativity I think about generative model in human body analysis (as a technologist). When it comes to  LINC, the generativity and the human perspective of it take us to to a whole new level of thinking. Generativity at LINC creates a space for growth mindset which is very different from a fixed mindset where intelligence, character and creative ability are static. LINC's Generative coupled with a growth mindset allows us to - Embrace failure, Become a lifelong learner, Seek out challenge, Go beyond our limits and Allows us to ask for feedback.

Generative Human: Person who takes action to be a life-long learner. One who is willing to accept that they don’t know what they don’t know, try new things outside of their comfort zone (envelope activity), and stay with it if it is creating a better outcome (not do what is easiest for them).

How to Assess:
ugh! Starts with that human accessing themselves with the support of a coach or confident who can provide true and honest feedback.

We assess with intentional self reflection as means to build one's self awareness

A human that is in a continuous state of reflection, action, iteration and growth. It is the journey and the goal. How do we assess? Hmmm...how do you assess growth, change of mindset, changes of practice? Changes in how you are occurring to the people around you? I have more ???s than answers on this one and I am extremely excited to explore.

A generative human is one that has a growth mindset. Willing to view things from different perspectives, willing to question their own standing beliefs to understand the ever changing world, willing to seek 'more'.

A generative human is constantly taking time for reflection, self-evaluation, and growth.  (S)he understands that growth, like life, is a process that takes new directions and offers new opportunities.  (S)He balances introspection, service, learning new things, mentoring, and being mentored.

A generative human is someone who is committed to continual growth. One way I like to think about it is Friere's definition of praxis "Action and reflection upon the world in order to transform it" - a generative human is always in that space. How do we assess? I think we see this in more tangible shifts that people are or aren't making. I think it's important to be a self-assessment over time vs. external assessment.

Generative is for me like being a good parent, we wish wellbeing with love and guiding our children to be good people, with principles and always helping others. May service survive.

Someone engaged in ongoing reflective and action that is rooted in solving a problem and then is committed to iteration. Someone who is always in a learner seat and in partnership/connection with their students and colleagues and also the world at large. Enjoys learning and has fun tinkering!

A generative human is a dynamic being that is constantly reflecting, learning and evolving. A generative human has a holistic vision of life and the world and balances his or her learning and growth focus to ensure that mind, body and spirit are being developed in parallel. A generative human is an agent of change not an object of chance. A generative human is innovative,  it's a risk taker and is connected to the world. A generative human is a creative and collaborative  problem solver. A generative human sees change as an opportunity, not a threat. A generative human is progressive and welcomes paradigm shifts in all aspects of life.

We measure a generative human by creating a self reflecting rubric that collects the right standards of a generative human, and it's complimented by reflection questions that allow humans to have self awareness and assess their generativity. It should have generativity assessing activities in it.

We are working collectively to create a future ran by this next generation. This future blooms with capability, prosperity, equality, bravery, and of course, generativity. This future is something so much better than what we have where we are now, but it also will have room for continued growth and transformation for all the generations to come. ♥️

The ability to work at the edges/fringe of the ZPD like the fringe on an area rug.  continuously stretch to expand the ZPD--then work at the fringe in a continuous expansion throughout life--this does not just apply to one area of development but applied to all areas--to be generative is to be generative (likely at different paces) in all areas of development.

how to assess-- create a baseline in core areas of development and then monitor behavior and track progress through observable behaviors/ expanded thought and action.

Someone who has an unquenchable thirst for growing and improving. One who rejects the notion that "after year 5 they can put it on cruise control." A generative human absolutely loves learning about themselves, their surroundings, and the people they are in contact with and beyond. A generative human wants to make a difference by being made different.

One who never stops learning, growing, changing based on that learning. One who reflects to learn and grow.
I don't think "we" can assess one's generativity as much as that individual can through their reflection. However, this can be through self and shared reflection.
