Multiple Intelligences - An Interview With Howard Gardner I recently caught the last half of an interview with Howard Gardner on the Pamelin Wallin show. Gardner, the Harvard psychologist who revolutionized our thinking with his theory of multiple intelligences in the early 80s, is now taking on the future of education. In his latest book, “The Disciplined Mind,” he offers new teaching strategies for the technological age, and argues for what he calls “education for understanding.” While this latest work was not created to specifically address isues in Special Education, anyone who has worked with children with special needs will find themselves nodding their heads in agreement with most anything Howard Gardner has to say. The following interview is reprinted here with the permission of the NEA. howard • gardner • pamela • wallin • multiple intelligences

Yeltsin and Kiriyenko v. the Duma: Collision Course in Moscow President Boris Yeltsin and Acting Premier Sergei Kiriyenko are preparing for a showdown with the Duma over Kiriyenko's nomination for premier. He's already been rejected twice, but Yeltsin insists on putting his name forth one more time and then dissolving the Duma and holding new Duma elections if it demurs. The anti-Kiriyenko party leaders insist that the president has no right to nominate someone more than once for premier, and so the president would have to nominate someone else, and wait until three separate people had been rejected before dissolving the Duma. This is a serious trial of strength between Yeltsin and the Duma. If Kiriyenko is confirmed after all, his program promises important changes in Russia. yeltsin kiriyenko moscow russia kremlin duma
