Ron Ritchhart presents a new and powerful view of intelligence that moves beyond ability to focus on cognitive dispositions such as curiosity, skepticism, 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.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Tables, Figures, and Exhibits xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword: Six Intellectual Characters in Search of an Author xv\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eDavid Perkins\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xxi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xxvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Author xxix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One: The Case for Intellectual Character\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Failing at Smart: Or What’s an Education For? 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Rethinking Smart: The Idea of Intellectual Character 12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Acting Smart: How Thinking Dispositions Close the Ability-Action Gap 33\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Two: Fostering Intellectual Character in Our Schools\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 First Days, First Steps: Initiating a Culture of Thinking 55\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Thinking Routines: Creating the Spaces and Structures for Thinking 85\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Language and Thinking: Prompting, Priming, and Patterning 115\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Thought-Full Environments: Sustaining a Culture of Thinking 145\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Three: Moving Toward the Ideal of Intellectual Character\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Beyond Technique: Where Teaching for Intellectual Character Begins 179\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Three Lessons: What to Keep in Mind about Teaching for Intellectual Character 209\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Some Practical Advice: How to Get Started Teaching for Intellectual Character 229\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 249\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 267\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 283\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 293\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Education [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Education\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Education%20%5BJN%5D%22\"\u003eJN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Jossey-Bass","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52453492490520,"sku":"9780787972783","price":14.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780787972783.jpg?v=1785285110","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/intellectual-character-what-it-is-why-it-matters-and-how-to-get-it-paperback-softback-9780787972783","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
