ABSTRACT
Brandt: In recent years there has been heightened interest among educators in the United States and in many other countries in the possibility of teaching thinking skills as a part of the regular school curriculum. We have assembled five influential leaders of this movement to assess what has been accomplished so far and to consider what needs to be done. Our first speaker, Arthur Costa, is a popular consultant and trainer. A professor at California State University in Sacramento, he is editor of ASCD's resource book on teaching thinking, Developing Minds. He has also recently been elected as President-elect of the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development.
