"Creating Thoughtfulness and Success through the Habits of Mind" 


Efforts to teach powerful thinking will prove futile unless the school environment shows signs to the staff, students and community that the development of the intellectual and cooperative decision making are the schools basic values.  This session will look at the introduction and implementation of the Habits of Mind into a school and how to sustain long term use of some key habits through development of a school wide culture.
