Employing Habits of Mind requires a composite of many skills, attitudes cues, past experiences, and proclivities. It means that we value one pattern of thinking over another, and therefore it implies choice making about which habit should be employed at which time.

Higher level questioning is on everyone's minds these days. I knew I wanted to create something for Blooms, but just couldn't decide on how I wanted it to look in my classroom.
