Integrating Curricula With Multiple Intelligences - Teams, Themes, and Threads (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition)

"The authors are sensitive to the constraints that operate on teachers even as they are open to ways in which teachers can refashion their classes and curricula to reach more children in more effective ways. This book will help teachers enliven and enrich their classrooms and forge new connections across concepts and curricula." -From the Foreword by Howard Gardner "On the one hand, teachers and other curriculum workers are held accountable for understanding, organizing, implementing, and designing instruction and assessing standards-based outcomes. On the other hand, they are also being admonished to teach for understanding, thinking skills, enduring learning, cooperative learning, multiple intelligences, individual differences, and developmental levels. This book provides a wealth of delightful, creative, and compelling strategies, lessons, and techniques for making sense of these many diverse theories." -Arthur L. Costa, Professor Emeritus California State University, Sacramento Develop powerful instructional tools that target diverse learning needs!
