Each of the sixteen habits is presented along with information on when to use each habit and strategies to make the process easy.

The pages combine ideas from Making Thinking Visible by providing a set of thinking strategies relevant to each habit. Each of the Sixteen Habits are paired with a series of Thinking Routines modified to encourage application of the relevant Habit.

Students can use the site when they identify a need to apply one of the Habits of Mind but are unsure of how to do so.

Teachers will find the site useful when they are looking for a strategy to apply in the classroom to support their students or target a specific Habit of Mind.
