Library Book Review: Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences, By Howard Gardner

I read this for my MAT in 2002, alongside Theodore Sizer’s book about the Coalition of Essential Schools.   Both inspired me to work on constructivist lesson plans for my classes, this past twenty years.  Should be read by all people who want to learn or to teach. In other words, this book should be read by everyone.
He posited nine types of intelligence, which have been condensed by teaching courses into three categories: Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic.  As a K, I tend to try harder to work that style into my lesson plans, but it was never easy.

This is an excellent book to read for almost any kind of work.

   Continuing Education is crucial to our republic, and to our future.  Reading and critical thinking on the work like this is crucial to how we vote, as well, in the immediate term.  Over the long term, empathy, built through tools like free adult education, probono legal aid, and #languagelearning, is crucial.  DoBetterCover

We really can Do Better.
