Resource Library

Project Zero. (IVA is making significant use of materials produced by researchers at Harvard’s Project Zero. Their work on “thinking dispositions,” “cultures of thinking,” “visible thinking,” and “teaching for understanding” is extremely relevant to IVA’s virtue-based model.)

The Critical Thinking Community. (Contains a great deal of useful information related to good thinking and how it can be taught. It also contains a nice discussion of six intellectual virtues.)

Habits of Mind (UK). (Provides a nice introduction to “habits of mind,” which resemble and are importantly related to intellectual virtues.)

Institute for Habits of Mind. (A valuable repository of practical resources for promoting growth in habits of mind. Many of these resources are equally useful for fostering intellectual virtues.)

Intellectual Virtues and Education Project. (The main site for a recent grant project on intellectual virtues and education sponsored by the John Templeton Foundation. The project is housed at Loyola Marymount University and directed by IVA founding member Dr. Jason Baehr.)
