In his groundbreaking theory on multiple intelligences, Howard Gardner states that "It's not how smart you are," but rather, "how you are smart." The impact of his theory has had major implications for schooling around the globe since it was first introduced in 1983. Despite common practices to evaluate intellectual ability in terms of IQ and standardized test scores, many educators are now embracing multiple intelligences theory and finding innovative ways to adapt it to the classroom. Editors Robin Fogarty and James Bellanca, nationally known education consultants, have consolidated much of the best research and writing available about multiple intelligences theory and practice into this informative, accessible resource. Divided into five concise sections, this book offers the novice a comprehensive, concise, and pragmatic picture of Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences (MI). For those already familiar with MI, it provides an in-depth look at the many facets of this theory, featuring a broad range of voices -- from the tower of academic research to the field of academic practice. Collected articles from top researchers and practitioners challenge the reader to rethink traditional interpretations of the word "intelligence." Special applications of MI, including its use in goal setting, assessment, and curriculum integration, are also covered. Educational psychologists, educators, school board members, community leaders, parents, parent organizations, and anyone interested in multiple intelligences theory. A Skylight Professional Book.

What is the best way to assess a person's vocabulary level? A multiple-choice exam? A fill-in-the-blank exercise? Or perhaps a performance activity that allows the person to "show" the contextual meaning of a word? As the new reforms in education emphasize alternative forms of evaluation and testing, creative educators are now implementing assessment strategies which no longer measure an individual's ability to memorize and reiterate, but focus instead on one's capacity to create, discover, and become a lifelong learner. The portfolio has emerged as one of the most powerful tools for assessment and evaluation in education. Just as the artist chooses from an array of watercolors to paint her picture, the creative educator chooses from a repertoire of assessment tools to paint her picture of a student as a lifelong learner. This easy-to-use resource explores a multitude of options for purposes and types of portfolios as well as practical ideas for implementing them in the classroom. Ten steps in developing portfolios are presented, along with lesson options, examples, and suggestions for encouraging creative and critical thinking in an easy-to-follow format. Educators, administrators, curriculum planners, and parents. A Skylight Professional Book.

Best Practices for the Learner-Centered Classroom: A Collection of Articles by Robin Fogarty

Educators know that problem-based learning answers that perennial student question: "When will I ever use this in real life?" Faced with a meaty problem to solve, students finally "get" why they need to learn the content and are energized to do so.
But here's the exciting part: problem-based learning doesn't require weeks of study or an end-of-year project. In this book, Brian Pete and Robin Fogarty show how you can use problem-based learning as a daily approach to helping students learn authentic and relevant content and skills. They explain how to engage students in each of the seven steps in the problem-based learning model, so students learn how to develop good questions, launch their inquiry, gather information, organize their information, create evidence, present their findings, and assess their learning. Using practical examples, they also describe how to help students master these seven important thinking skills: develop, analyze, reason, understand, solve, apply, and evaluate.
To put all this in context, the authors offer seven "PBL in a Nutshell" lessons that can easily be incorporated in a single classroom period. Depth of thinking and ease of implementation this is problem-based learning at its best.
