More quotes by Howard Gardner
Anything that is worth teaching can be presented in many different ways. These multiple ways can make use of our multiple intelligences.
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
Education is at a turning point
Howard Gardner
Much of the material presented in schools strikes students as alien, if not pointless.
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
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.
Howard Gardner
By nature, I am not an optimist, though I try to act as if I am.
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.
Howard Gardner
Creativity begins with an affinity for something. It's like falling in love.
Howard Gardner
The biggest mistake of past centuries in teaching has been to treat all students as if they were variants of the same individual and thus to feel justified in teaching them all the same subjects the same way.
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
Teachers must be encouraged - I almost said 'freed', to pursue an education that strives for depth of understanding.
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
I want my children to understand the world, but not just because the world is fascinating and the human mind is curious. I want them to understand it so that they will be positioned to make it a better place
Howard Gardner
There is no single truth, but each of the scholarly disciplines has methods which lead one ever closer to the truth.
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
If you think education is expensive, try estimating the cost of ignorance.
Howard Gardner
The biggest communities in which young people now reside are online communities.
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
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
