Essential for teachers and students to develop critical thinking skills is examining current dispositions and behaviors; to become more mindful of why we think the way we do and to become more thoughtful about actions we take. Mindfulness and Thoughtfulness provides both theoretical basis for, and practical ideas about, the Habits of Mind.

Teachers and researchers in education today are charged with helping learners resolve constantly changing global and regional issues. These issues do not have simple solutions and addressing them requires critical and creative ways of thinking. Essential to developing these thinking skills is to examine current dispositions and behaviors; to become more mindful of why we think the way we do and to become more thoughtful about actions we take. In Mindfulness and Thoughtfulness: Leading and Teaching with Habits of Mind in Research and Practice, practitioners and researchers in the field of education present learning theories, case studies, teaching techniques, and professional development strategies associated with these Habits of Mind. Readers will find teaching inventories, self-assessment tools, and reflection exercises to become mindful and thoughtful teachers and educational researchers.

Servet Altan is a world leading international teacher educator and educational researcher. He has been researching and practicing students’ and teachers’ Habits of Mind for several years. Jennie Farber Lane is experienced in teacher education and education for sustainability. She has been a curriculum writer for several environmental education program guides.
