Welcome to the Habits of Mind Teachers Network!

The Habits of Mind Teachers Network has been established by Mindful by Design to build and support the community of teachers working with the Art Costa's Habits of Mind. The Teachers Network is a partnership project of the Institute for Habits of Mind, and the site and its content is fully endorsed by the Institute for Habits of Mind.

The Network provides you with opportunities to work with, and learn from, other educators from all levels of schooling who are seeking to infuse the Habits of Mind in to their curriculum and pedagogy as well as the culture of their schools. 

The Habits of Mind Teacher Network is developed by teachers, for teachers. Maintained by Mindful By Design, the network respects the rich contributions practicing teachers make to our growing knowledge about the Habits of Mind and actively seeks to encourage the growth of a vibrant, active learning community.

Our network gives you many resources, learning opportunities and ways to interact with other teachers. We are constantly seeking to expand this site to serve the community of educators seeking to work  with the Habits of Mind. If you have suggestions, ideas or requests that would help us make this site even richer, please use the Suggest an Improvement page. 

With greatest admiration to the talented educators that make this powerful work a reality,
