"The mission (of this book) is sensible, commendable, and exciting. I'm confident that it will engage a range of educators. The music of knowledge is ready to be played." A collaboration of five authorities, this new book describes what, in the authors' view, is right about thinking skill instruction and about what has been said about thinking dispositions - presented in a clear-cut manner that's easily translated into educational practice in the classroom. It covers the importance of skillful thinking, how to teach skillful thinking, direct instruction and the teaching of skillful thinking, metacognition, putting skillful thinking into writing, assessing skillful thinking, developing a thinking-based curriculum, and using leadership to enhance the intellectual ecology of the school. 2007 Available March Hardbound 325pp est.
