The Pathway to Intelligent Behavior

The Habits of Mind are a collection of 16 thinking dispositions identified by Dr. Art Costa. Costa defined the Habits of Mind as the dispositions skillfully and mindfully displayed by characteristically intelligent people when confronted with problems the solution to which are not immediately apparent.
We hear a lot about preparing students for the 21st Century. The Habits of Mind are the intellectual characteristics of effective, self-directed learners and creative problem solvers. Join us as Dr. Kielty provides us with a deeper understanding of their application to daily life and how they apply to gifted children.
