Art’s biggest dream is to grow this body of work, the Habits of Mind and to see thoughtfulness strategised and articulated so that school communities grow and get ‘better at’ the thinking skills captured in the Habits of Mind.  By community remember this is not just about our learners or us as their teachers but about the connection with their families. 

Accordingly, the ANSN, with Art’s permission have made his powerpoint from the Next Steps professional learning opportunities available here.  This resource will remain until the end of the year and then it will move into a members only section on the site.  Art wants you to acknowledge the source of this work but he wants you to be sure to know that the intention is to USE this resource to make a difference, to inspire great thinking and problem solving in our learners.

Further ANSN opportunities to put Habits of Mind in action are available throughout 2009.  For more information regarding the Setting the Stage through the Habits of Mind 5 day action learning project download the flyer below.

Note that the movies attached to the powerpoint are in the zip file. You'll need to unzip them in the same folder as the powerpoint file for them to work.
