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.

Things Schools Do Besides Teach
Before a child is taught anything in school, the school system provides a service that is indispensable: it ensures that the child has been inoculated against diphtheria.

JULIA WARD HOWE
In 1862, Julia and her husband Samuel were invited to Washington by President Abraham Lincoln. While there, Julia met clergyman Freeman Clarke, who encouraged her to write a song to replace "John Brown's Body." The next morning at dawn, Julia jotted down the worlds that would become "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."

Whole Language makes sense, if you know what you are doing! Assessment is individualized and students are not in competition with one another. This targeted method of presentation, encourages independence and gives more accurate feedback for the parents as well as the student.
