Multiple Intelligences and Student Achievement: Success Stories from Six Schools

Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences (MI) has fostered avenues of reform and change within our educational system. As a veteran teacher I have heard about MI but have never experienced its full power. This book brings me closer to realizing the tremendous potential of teaching with MI theory. Campbell and Campbell have put together a book that describes how six schools across the United States have provoked change within their educational systems. Each of these six schools has some common characteristics but has shown differences in their MI implementation. The clear storyline and visual charts in this document make this book an easy read that should inspire teachers at all stages in their careers. You do not need to be involved with an MI school to gain many insights from this book. Its reflective situations and structured organization will increase your foundation on MI theory as well as inspire you to look at the learning styles of youth in a whole new way.
