An intelligence is the biological and psychological potential to analyze information in specific ways, in order to solve problems or to create products that are valued in a culture.
Howard Gardner

All human beings have all of the intelligences. But we differ, for both genetic and experiential reasons, in our profile of intelligences at any moment.

What we want... is for students to get more interested in things, more involved in them, more engaged in wanting to know to have projects that they can get excited about and work on over long periods of time, to be stimulated to find things out on their own.
Howard Gardner
Image
We've got to do fewer things in school. The greatest enemy of understanding is coverage... You've got to take enough time to get kids deeply involved in something so they can think about it in lots of different ways and apply it.

Howard Gardner

Howard Gardner
Image
If one develops good habits and routines, it is possible to be a responsible educator most of the time and to marshal the special energies and reflection for those times, when the correct course of action is not clear, or when one is weighing one wrong against another wrong.
Howard Gardner
Image
Emile Zola was a poor student at his school at Aix. We are all so different largely because we all have different combinations of intelligences. If we recognize this, I think we will have at least a better chance of dealing appropriately with many problems that we face in the world.
Howard Gardner
Image
The wonderful thing about the theater is that it can emphasize BOTH our diversity AND our common humanity. In many ways, the world of Shakespeare (or Aeschylus or Racine) is totally different from our world and yet any human being can look through the differences in dress and mores and discover our common problems, passions, and potentials.
Howard Gardner
Image
Fundamentalism is a kind of decision not to change your mind about something...Many of us are fundamentalists...because it worked pretty well for us.
Howard Gardner
Image
There is no single truth, but each of the scholarly disciplines has methods which lead one ever closer to the truth.
Howard Gardner
Image
If you think education is expensive, try estimating the cost of ignorance.
Howard Gardner
Image
Now intelligence seemed quantifiable. You could measure someone's actual or potential height, and now, it seemed, you could also measure someone's actual or potential intelligence. We had one dimension of mental ability along which we could array everyone... The whole concept has to be challenged in fact, it has to be replaced.
Howard Gardner

Part of the maturity of the sciences is an appreciation of which questions are best left to other disciplinary approaches.
