In 2005 I led the first international Habits of Mind Expo. Schools from around the world gathered to learn from each other, and of course, from Art Costa. During the Expo I sat down with Art and asked him to share some of his key learnings and insights about the Habits of Mind. This playlist of 24 short videos captures what he said.
Listen as Art defines the Habits of Mind, and describes how they were derived. He outlines the evidence supporting the Habits of Mind, and how they stay with students as they move through school. He talks about about the experience of different schools, and links to different research that support the Habits of Mind. Finally he leaves us with his thought on the “hidden agenda” for Habits of Mind.
