This book is the second in a four-book series on habits of mind. It translates a habits of mind approach to education into action using classroom-tested advice. Contributions come from practitioners in literature, math, music, foreign language, reading, character education, and social science.

Costa and Bena Kallick), there are 14 papers: (1) "Creating 'Thoughtful' Classroom Environments" (Arthur L. Costa and Bena Kallick); (2) "Toward a Mindful Language of Learning" (Arthur L.
