This book guides and supports teachers in showing their students how to acquire, apply, and appreciate appropriate dispositions or outlooks related to the course content and as a community of learners. It helps teachers to visualize teaching and learning holistically, linking the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that students need to know, do, and feel to achieve in school and become lifelong learners.--[book cover]
