Deep in Thought provides an introduction to intellectual
virtues—the personal qualities and character strengths of good
thinkers and learners—and outlines a pragmatic approach for
teachers to reinforce them in the classroom. With a combination of
theoretical expertise and practical experience, philosopher Jason
Baehr endorses intellectual virtues as a rich, meaningful way to
think about and understand the purpose of education. He makes a
persuasive case for prioritizing intellectual virtues in the
classroom to facilitate deeper learning, encourage lifelong
learning, and enrich teacher practice. Baehr profiles nine key
virtues that enable learners to initiate the process of learning,
maintain forward momentum, and overcome common obstacles. With
engaging anecdotes and concrete examples, he presents a wealth of
principles, postures, and practices that educators can employ in
promoting essential habits of mind such as critical thinking and
problem solving. Baehr illustrates how opportunities to practice
these intellectual habits can be integrated into the classroom in
ways that align with current teaching practices. In addition, he
shows how educators can adapt these practices to accommodate
students’ identities, developmental abilities, and interests.
This thought-provoking book supports all educators, especially
middle and high school teachers, in teaching for intellectual
virtues. Deep in Thought is a philosophical and yet practical guide
to one of the most important aims of education: helping students
become skilled thinkers and learners.
