I don't think that it is necessary to rethink curricular goals. But it is certainly worth thinking about whether these goals can be reached in multiple ways.

More quotes by Howard Gardner
While I’ve worked on many topics and written many books, I have not abandoned my interest in multiple intelligences.
Howard Gardner
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
What is usually called 'intelligence' refers to the linguistic and logical capacities that are valued in certain kinds of school and for certain school-like tasks. It leaves little if any room for spatial intelligence, personal intelligences, musical intelligence, etc.
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
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
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
Intelligence is the ability to find and solve problems and create products of value in one's own culture.
Howard Gardner
Part of the maturity of the sciences is an appreciation of which questions are best left to other disciplinary approaches.
Howard Gardner
While truth is ultimately convergent, beauty is ultimately divergent. No one can and no one should tell anyone else what that person should consider beautiful.
Howard Gardner
Well, if storytelling is important, then your narrative ability, or your ability to put into words or use what someone else has put into words effectively, is important too.
Howard Gardner
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
I think that any important educational goal can be realized via several routes.
Howard Gardner
I align myself with almost all researchers in assuming that anything we do is a composite of whatever genetic limitations were given to us by our parents and whatever kinds of environmental opportunities are available.
Howard Gardner
My belief in why America has been doing so well up to now is that we have been propelled by our immigrants and our encouragement of technical innovation and, indeed, creativity across the board.
Howard Gardner
Knowledge is not the same as morality, but we need to understand if we are to avoid past mistakes and move in productive directions. An important part of that understanding is knowing who we are and what we can do... Ultimately, we must synthesize our understandings for ourselves.
Howard Gardner
If we were to abandon concern for what is true, what is false, and what remains indeterminate, the world would be totally chaotic. Even those who deny the importance of truth, on the one hand, are quick to jump on anyone who is caught lying.
Howard Gardner
The biggest communities in which young people now reside are online communities.
Howard Gardner
I’d rather see the United States as a beacon of Good Work and Good Citizenship, rather than as #1 on some international educational measurement.
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
One must exploit the asynchronies that have befallen one, link them to a promising issue or domain, reframe frustrations as opportunities, and, above all, persevere.
Howard Gardner
