Think Like A Disciplinarian Circles
Academic Disciplines Integrated into Literature Circles



 “The aim of education should be 

to teach us rather how to think,
than what to think -
rather to improve our minds,
so as to enable us to think for ourselves,
than to load the memory with
thoughts of other men.”
Bill Beattie

Strategies for Thriving via
Habits of Mind

“Research consistently shows that many gifted children and adolescents have the capacity for intensified thinking and feeling, as well as vivid imaginations. Whether they are gifted athletes, artists, musicians, intellectuals, or are highly creative, they may have higher levels of emotional development due to greater awareness and intensity of feeling.

‘Being different’ in ability and personality characteristics may lead to higher expectations, jealousy, and resentment by adults and peers.”
