The research behind Intellectual Character is the basis for much of my current work on creating cultures of thinking in classrooms and nurturing students thinking dispositions.  In the book, I lay out the argument for why schools need to focus on developing students intellectual character and then look at classrooms where teachers effectively do so.  Click on the links to read reviews of Intellectual Character from Education Review  and the Christian Science Monitor.

Before becoming a researcher at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, I taught mathematics at both the middle and elementary school levels.  These books are some of my ideas for teachers about how to teach mathematics in a way that focuses on understanding.  Some are a bit hard to find in print, but I believe all are available from the Project Zero Bookstore.   

As the Principal Investigator and Director of the Creative Classroom Project, I produced a number of videos on creativity in the classroom.  Disney Learning Partnership distributed these for a number of year, but has stopped production.  While the videos are no longer readily available, you can download a copy of the book in PDF format by clicking the images below.

I also produced the Visible Thinking DVD that features teachers at the International School of Amsterdam using a variety of Thinking Routines.
