Ideal for educators, teacher trainers, and anyone interested in innovative approaches to teaching and learning.

The way we define intelligence shapes the education we provide to our children. But what does it really mean to be intelligent? This book presents a view of intelligence that is focused on cognitive dispositions such as curiosity, scepticism, or open-mindedness.

Description

What does it really mean to be intelligent? Ron Ritchhart presents a new and powerful view of intelligence that moves beyond ability to focus on cognitive dispositions such as curiosity, scepticism, and open-mindedness.

Arguing persuasively for this new conception of intelligence, the author uses vivid classroom vignettes to explore the foundations of intellectual character and describe how teachers can enculturate productive patterns of thinking in their students.

Intellectual Character presents illustrative, inspiring stories of exemplary teachers to help show how intellectual traits and thinking dispositions can be developed and cultivated in students to promote successful learning. This vital book provides a model of authentic and powerful teaching and offers practical strategies for creating classroom environments that support thinking.
