Our Philosophy

The Habits of Mind Teachers Network is founded on the belief that professional learning is richest and most valuable when it is collaborative, generative and ongoing.  

We believe that the Habits of Mind provide a powerful means to develop the kinds of effective thinkers our society needs to confront issues of the 21st Century and beyond. Further, we believe that by working together we can learn from each other to enhance our classroom practice.

We believe that there is still much to learn about how the Habits of Mind can be infused into the curriculum and culture of a school. We seek to engage our Habits of Mind in action research and Remain Open to Continuous Learning, and to share this learning through the network.

This Network seeks to build an open learning community where educators from all sectors can come together and freely share our knowledge, experience and expertise to enhance teaching and learning.
