Anything that is worth teaching can be presented in many different ways. These multiple ways can make use of our multiple intelligences.
Howard Gardner

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.

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.

The wonderful thing about the theater is that it can emphasize BOTH our diversity AND our common humanity.
