Costa (emeritus, education, California State U.), Kallick (consultant), and 19 co-contributors offer a guide to shaping schools around habits of mind. Described as a foundation for learning, teaching, and living well, habits of mind are 16 elements of behavior that readers are encouraged to cultivate. Examples of habits of mind include persistence, striving for accuracy, thinking and communicating with clarity, and thinking independently. The authors explain how the habits of mind relate to current concepts of what constitutes intelligence and offer assessment and reporting techniques that incorporate the habits.
