Professors - Multiple Intelligences Are Alive...
Multiple Intelligences Research in the last couple of decades indicates that there is not a single form of "intelligence." When one only accepts the traditional definition of "intelligence," a competitive classroom culture is fostered which ensures some students will fail. In recent years, the concept of "multiple intelligences" has emerged to create a contrasting paradigm. Seeking to broaden the scope of human potential beyond the traditional IQ score, Howard Gardner, renowned for having developed the most well known theory of multiple intelligences, defines intelligence as "a biopsychological potential to process information that can be activated in a cultural setting to solve problems or create...

What is the Theory of Multiple Intelligences?...
Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences is based on the premise that each individual's intelligence is composed of multiple "intelligences," each of which has its own independent operating system within the brain. These intelligences include: verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. The verbal-linguistic intelligence is the use of both written and spoken language for the purpose of communication. Those possessing the verbal-linguistic intelligence are sensitive to the meanings, sounds, and rhythms of words. They love reading, poetry, tongue twisters, puns, humor, puzzles, and riddles. The logical...

Or what of the complex interpersonal skills needed by a therapist to successfully establish rapport and assist individuals to make helpful and lasting change? For years, especially in the education circles, most believed such talents were the periphery of true intelligence. Howard Gardner...

The Importance of Music Education in the Public...
As educators, it is our responsibility to nurture in our students the knowledge and abilities that they need in order to be balanced and productive members of society.

Is the No Child Left Behind Act Shortchanging...
Educators have said since its inception that the No Child Left Behind Act was not the solution. Teachers are limited to what and how they can teach; children are dropping out of school and are getting left behind. The act is failing more than it is succeeding, and our children are paying the price, ending up joining the vicious cycle of welfare and poverty due to their lack of education. The No Child Left Behind Act has a narrow focus on math, science English and testing. In particular, its policy to teach to the test does not teach our children to become well-rounded adults--- adults who can draw on their knowledge and all of their experiences, including music and art. Being able to pass a...
Preschoolers Gain Long-Term Advantages By...
Numerous studies indicate that learning to play the piano as a preschooler sets a child up for later academic success. But tell that to most parents or grandparents of energetic preschoolers and they'll wonder how they could get their children to sit still long enough to play an entire song.

In teaching young people to play violin and ocarina, I see them also learning skills that will help them in their studies, life and work. One of the amazing things about music education is how students pick up these skills through the process of learning to play an instrument. Through music instruction, children learn discipline, patience, problem-solving skills, confidence and responsibility. These character traits are developed through repetition, as students must slow down and focus. In a world where kids are bombarded by fast-paced and often dubious media messages touting instant gratification, they learn the value of applying themselves to a task.

We got to see flash-sideways Ben and he's a lot more like you'd expect someone who looks like him to be: meek. The big winner in this week's flash-sideways cross is Leslie Arzt.
