Gardener

After having to do a paper on Gardener in my Human Development class this semester, i stumbled across The Ross School.  The ross school in east hampton, LI is a school that runs on Howard Gardeners theory of multiple intelligences.  This school's mission is to "change the way education meets the future; to foster interdisciplinary, integrated and innovative leadership; to engage fully in the global community; and to facilitate lifelong learning".  This school is pre nursery to 12th grade and a unique form of education for these students.  There are several Howard Gardener based schools around the country and i actually would like to observe in one.  I agree with his theory and would like to integrate it into a school that i would start myself for kids birth to age 5.  Ofcourse this is just an idea i have but i think combining the different ways we can learn as individuals into a bigger umbrella so that everyone has a voice is the best way to run an educational setting.
