We were motivated to edit this book when we began to hear stories
of exceptional students who were struggling with reading, writing,
or math, but who could solve seemingly any problem with computers,
or build the most intricate structures with Legos, or could draw
beautiful pictures, or could tell the most creative stories but
ended up in tears when asked to write it out. How is it possible to
have so much talent in some areas and yet to appear to have a
disability in another? What resources are available for these
students? How can we ensure that these students' abilities are
nurtured and developed? Our goal in this book is to provide ideas
and possibly even tentative answers for educators and to stimulate
more questions to be answered by researchers. We have ourselves
been addressing related questions for some time. Our group at the
PACE Center at Yale has explored the developmentof abilities,
competencies and expertise that allow people to be successful in
life. Through this work, we have collaborated with school districts
and other educators and researchers across the country to expand
the notion ofwhat is traditionally thought ofas intelligence. We
use the conceptofsuccessful intelligence to allow for the
possibility that the skills traditionally taught in school are not
the only ones, and often not even the most important ones, that
allow people to be successful in the world.
