Features: Thinking Habits: Discovery and Exploration; Thinking Habits: Activation and Use; Thinking Habits: Evaluation and Reporting; Thinking Habits: Integration and Maintenance. The goal of this book is to help educators teach these thinking habits. The book views the development of these habits as a broad, enduring, and essential lifelong learning process, applicable to students as well as adults. By teaching students (and adults) to apply thinking habits, we hope to equip them to use these habits to navigate uncertain and challenging situations. The content of the book includes: Thinking Habits: Discovery and Exploration, Thinking Habits: Activation and Use, Thinking Habits: Evaluation and Reporting, Thinking Habits: Integration and Maintenance. It is hoped that these habits will help educators cultivate individuals who are thoughtful, empathetic, and cooperative, capable of living productively in an increasingly chaotic, complex, and information-overloaded society.
