Dispositions: Reframing Teaching and Learning

From the authors of the best-selling Habits of Mind...

Two leading consultants present a game-changing look at why and how to "mind the gap" between what we claim are educational essentials, and how we evaluate results.

Dispositions builds on the authors' influential Habits of Mind writings, including new evidence of why influencing students' dispositional habits is their key to finding meaning in classroom content. Topics include:

• Making dispositions come alive in the minds of students
• Shifting the thinking of educational leaders, parents, politicians and the public
• How to align day-to-day classroom practices with larger dispositional outcomes
