Professor Art Costa talks about the
Habits of Mind Hub
The work of James Anderson and the participating
Hub schools and educators is truly impressive.
Under James’ leadership and coordination, they are
pushing the level of complexity and sophistication of
the Habits of Mind beyond all previous work. They
are making new connections and developing archives
of effective practices. They are extending the
application and development of the Habits of Mind
to new and diverse situations. Not only has James
ignited a blaze of enthusiasm for the participants as
they link and think together, they are beginning to
see payoff for their students at both personal and
academic levels. As students are becoming more
aware of the Habits of Mind, they are using them as
an internal “value-compass” to guide their decisions,
their actions and their thoughts.
If you choose to join the Hub, be prepared to make
new friends, to have your mind stretched, and to
gain new insights about how to foster essential and
enduring lifelong learning
