I picked this book up because the community college I work at is promoting Habits of Mind as a student success initiative, and I wanted to learn about it. Although geared principally towards elementary school teachers, I found this book provided a wealth of information on the habits of mind, how to teach them, and how to assess them that I could apply to my own life-long learning.

We don't teach kids how to be smart! Thirty-four years in the classroom and we still don't give kids a tool kit to teach them how to be smarter; we merely assume they will get it on their own. Why not give them a means, an understanding, about what it takes to get and stay smart?

Executive function, "managing impulsivity" in HOMs, is the number one determinant of success at any level. It is more important than IQ! Why don't we tell our students that? That working together, "thinking interdependently", collaborating makes everyone in the group smarter; another of the sixteen habits of intelligent people.

My own reading and experience supports the theories laid out in "Learning and leading...".
