Reviews
This book sends a message to teacher education accreditation agencies to include in their ratings, criteria and rubrics the relevance of teaching the dispositions. The challenge is to consider how to make certain that the teachers of teachers use the habits as the mission of their and their institution's curriculum design. This book provides strategies to accomplish and assess the development of the Habits of Mind as well as commentaries of how students in the program at Florida International University have responded to a program in which dispositions were made explicit, taught along with content and modeled by the professors and master teachers. -- Arthur L. Costa, professor emeritus, California State University; co-author of Cognitive Coaching: Developing Self-Directed Leaders and Learners
