The Habits of Mind are dispositions that empower creative & critical thinking. A Habit of Mind is knowing how to behave intelligently.

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our beloved friend, colleague, mentor, and co-founder, Dr. Art Costa.

In the coming days, we will share opportunities for our community to honor and celebrate Art’s life and legacy together. For now, we invite you to reflect on the impact Art had on your thinking, your teaching, your leadership, or your life. If you would like to share a memory, story, photograph, or reflection, we would be honored to hear from you.

As Art often reminded us, a life well lived is measured not only by what we accomplish, but by the contributions we make and the lives we touch. By that measure, Art’s legacy will endure for generations.

With gratitude and remembrance,
Bena Kallick and Allison Zmuda

From Seaford to Red Hill! Two weeks, two conferences, and countless moments of learning, reflection, and connection.

Grateful to be in this work — and to do it alongside the Habits of Mind community.

Even our youngest learners get it. Through a simple idea — and a little imagination — these classroom superheroes are already practicing (and understanding!) Habits like Metacognition, Striving for Accuracy, Persisting, and Managing Impulsivity.

Clear. Accessible. And alive in every classroom.
