Wondering who's actually doing all of this work?

Nothing like this Network comes together quickly, or without lots of input form many people. Conceptually the ideas, and most of the content for the site comes from James Anderson. James is the driving force behind the Habits of Mind Teachers Network.

James is the Director of Mindful by Design, an Associate Director for the Institute for Habits of Mind and the primary designer for the Habits of Mind Teachers Network. He's given a brief description of the work and ideas that has lead to the development of this site in his Habits of Mind Learning Community profile. 

Although this site is, formally, new, the network its self has it's roots many years ago. Beginning as an email discussion list and growing through many iterations as time, technology and opportunities allowed. 

in building this network, and its web site, James has many people that to thank for their input and support. Of course there are the countless teachers that James has worked with who have contributed to our understanding about the Habits over many years. These teachers have contributed ideas, suggestions and requests to assist them in their work. There are also a close group of colleagues that have volunteered to review and refine the work. You'll find most of these people listed and contributing to the Habits of Mind Learning Community.

Then there is the the creative efforts of the web developer and graphic designer that have turned the network from an idea into a reality. 

Of course the cast of characters is too large, and stretches across too many years, to fully describe and thank here. This is only an attempt to give people interested in the Habits of Mind Teachers Network the briefest of glimpses as what lays behind the scenes.
