Howard Gardner

Howard Gardner

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
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
Much of the material presented in schools strikes students as alien, if not pointless.
Howard Gardner

Howard Gardner
As a planet, we are at risk of destruction (for example, gradually by the warming of the planet or rapidly, by nuclear war or a pathogen that gets out of control). And these threats require us to work together, and not just to announce our diversity.
Howard Gardner

Howard Gardner
While I’ve worked on many topics and written many books, I have not abandoned my interest in multiple intelligences.
Howard Gardner

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
