Offers an unparalleled survey of the principal concerns of a major educational thinker in our times.
Draws on decades of experience as a teacher, researcher, and public intellectual to present a vision of how quality education can best be achieved for all students.
Reviews the principal strands of the world-renowned theory of multiple human intelligences, including timely explanations and updates.
Makes the case for an education that foregrounds and cultivates an appreciation of truth, beauty, and goodness.
Situates concepts and recommendations within the broader progressive tradition.
Addresses authentic assessment, the importance of interdisciplinary thinking, the fostering of creativity, the capacity to synthesize powerfully and convincingly, the centrality of deep understanding, and—crucial for our times—the cultivation of an ethical mind.
