Product Description
Review
"Chicago Tribune", Editor's Choice
"The idea of multiple intelligences is so much a part of our cultural conversation that it is hard to believe that these ideas are fairly new and that this book was published just two decades ago. This anniversary edition feels fresh and as urgent as it did in its original form."

This is important reading for all teachers and administrators. Gardner provides powerful insights into why schools aren't producing students with the skills to solve problems in real-life settings. His ideas help us examine how schools today could effectively teach for understanding.

The only thing wrong with this book which is easy to read and makes some excellent points is that much of Gardiner's work is not really new. Many others have recognised, Holt, Goodman etc. that schools are not ideal in their present form as mass educators simply because we are all different. This only comes as a surprise to a group of unenlightened educational administrators too busy getting on to see what was really going on. The parable of the talents is over 2000 years old so Gardiner with his multiple intelligence theory simply makes the blindingly obvious obscure and esoteric. The positive is that at last some of the educational establishment are awakening but as usual have got hold of the wrong end of the stick. It is sadly not just the children have unschooled minds. A worthy book making worthy points that may eventually lead to real progress but not quickly I venture.
