Nurturing Habits of Mind in Early Childhood: Success Stories from Classrooms Around the WorldIn the first years of life, as children observe, imitate, and interact with people and their environment, the brain is structuring a foundation for vocabulary, values, cognitive processes, and social skills. Educators, you can help influence that development by teaching the skills and dispositions of intelligent, creative, effective decision makers and problem solvers. Within these pages, Arthur L. Costa and Bena Kallick share the authentic stories

In the first years of life, as children observe, imitate, and interact with people and their environment, the brain is structuring a foundation for vocabulary, values, cognitive processes, and social skills. Educators, you can help influence that development by teaching the skills and dispositions of intelligent, creative, effective decision makers and problem solvers.

Within these pages, Arthur L. Costa and Bena Kallick share the authentic stories and experiences of teachers who have taught these Habits of Mind (HOM) to young children:

- Persisting
- Managing impulsivity
- Listening with understanding and empathy
- Thinking flexibly
- Thinking about thinking
- Striving for accuracy
- Questioning and posing problems
- Applying past knowledge to new situations
- Thinking and communicating with clarity and precision
- Gathering data through all senses
- Creating, imagining, and innovating
- Responding with wonderment and awe
- Taking responsible risks
- Finding humor
- Thinking interdependently
- Remaining open to continuous learning

The practical examples in this book show how anybody who works with young children can introduce the Habits of Mind in entertaining and concrete ways that are developmentally appropriate. By designing learning experiences that reflect the situations and challenges children face in their lives, educators can help our youngest citizens begin to develop the habits of mind that feed a lifetime of learning.

Excellent value

These boat shoes are great, they fit a 13W comfortably, for the the price my expectations were not high, but I was wrong, they look good and the soles are real rubber they fit well, I would definitely recommend these, very comfortable.

Good value and comfortable
Size: 8, Color: Khaki Brown
I'm going to give these shoes a 5 star. They look good, fit well and are very comfortable. They are not leather, but they look and feel more like leather than most low-priced real leather shoes. I bought them to wear around the house and in the yard and they are perfect for that. I am going to swap the weird looking partial laces for a good pair of leather laces. Good value received for money spent.

Way, way, way too narrow
Size: 11, Color: Brown
Absurdly, uselessly narrow. I can't get my toes past the opening, although the length appears to be close to correct. A 8 year old might be able to get into my size 11s and flop around in them, but not a grown up.

Nice men’s shoes
Size: 9.5, Color: Khaki Brown
I bought these shoes while costuming a show at the local community theater. The man who wore them said that they were comfortable and easy to get on. They came exactly as described and pictured.
