How 21st Century Thinking Is Just Different by Terry Heick This content is proudly sponsored by The Institute for the Habits of Mind, promoting the development of personal thinking habits in 21st century learners.

Not so when there are executive functioning issues: That's where serious disorganization develops. " Hoffman's approach in such cases combines nuts-and-bolts solutions with a whole new approach to talking about the problem.
"With chronic issues like this, the student loses his or her sense of control, and there's an instinct to give up," he says.
