Arthur L. Costa Because life is a series of problem solving opportunities, we explicitly teach and foster Habits of Mind at the middle school. The happiest, most successful people seem to be those who have developed the patterns of thinking listed above. The most important aspect of education is not obtaining information; it's knowing how to act on it. |
