Resources

          Bukit Batok Secondary School

        This secondary school in Singapore makes their HOM materials available by password. Email, Mrs. Rosie Lau (rosie_lim@moe.gov.sg) for the password and include the name of your school and the country you are from. (Note: Tim Dobson made the connection with the school and they are more than willing to email you a password if you write to them.

        Try a search in Novelist (the library's subscription database that's all about books) use subject terms like 'persistence', 'impulsiveness', and other Habits of Mind keywords.
