  • Meier has emphasized the importance of developing five “habits of mind”: the
    value of raising questions about evidence (“How do we know what we
    know?”), point of view (“Whose perspective does this represent?”),
    connections (“How is this related to that?”), supposition (“How
    might things have been otherwise?”), and relevance (“Why is this
    important?”).
  • To be well-educated, then, is to have the desire as well as the means to make
    sure that learning never ends.

    Meier has emphasized the importance of developing five “habits of mind”: the value of raising questions about evidence (“How do we know what we know?”), point of view (“Whose perspective does this represent?”), connections (“How is this related to that?”), supposition (“How might things have been otherwise?”), and relevance (“Why is this important?”).

    It’s not only the ability to raise and answer those questions that matters, though, but also the disposition to do so.
