My goal is for students to develop ascending intellectual habits:
  1. Non-imitative use of knowledge
  2. Extensive knowledge and skill
  3. Pattern recognition
  4. Efficient and meaningful organization of knowledge (concept-based units and instruction)
  5. Increased curiosity, reflection, and concentration
  6. Questioning about reasons for and uses of knowledge
  7. Formulating insights/insightful questions
  8. Assuming considerable responsibility for own learning
  9. Reflective, evaluative behavior
