More quotes by 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
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
In the United States these days, 'diversity' is a big word and a buzzword.
Howard Gardner
While I’ve worked on many topics and written many books, I have not abandoned my interest in multiple intelligences.
Howard Gardner
Teachers must be encouraged - I almost said 'freed', to pursue an education that strives for depth of understanding.
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
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
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
Creativity begins with an affinity for something. It's like falling in love.
Howard Gardner
I believe that the brain has evolved over millions of years to be responsive to different kinds of content in the world. Language content, musical content, spatial content, numerical content, etc.
Howard Gardner
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
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 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
Intelligence is the ability to find and solve problems and create products of value in one's own culture.
Howard Gardner
By nature, I am not an optimist, though I try to act as if I am.
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
Anything that is worth teaching can be presented in many different ways. These multiple ways can make use of our multiple intelligences.
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
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
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.
