millennium : multiple intelligences for the new millennium with Howard Gardner

New dimensions: first, Howard Gardner revolutionized how we think about "intelligence" and "understanding." Now, with MI: millennium, Gardner expands, and builds upon the foundations of MI theory--bringing twenty years of research, and the history of "intelligence" theory into a timely new focus. In this dynamic presentation for the classroom, Gardner reveals entirely new dimensions of MI, including: a verified eighth intelligence and the possibility of a ninth intelligence; new ideas about "entry points to disciplinary understanding;" what happens to the "intelligences" as we grow older; his most recent work identifying "three axes" of intelligence; and the nature of "good work. "New directions: looking to the future, Gardner raises new questions about intelligence in the new millennium, including how broadly "intelligence" should be defined, who will get to define it, and the profound signifigance of globalization, computers, and artificial intelligence (AI) on how we will learn, and what kinds of intelligences will be critical in the near future. New implications: In the new millennium, MI theory takes on profoundly human dimensions, as Gardner explores the critical link between intelligence and ethics. In turn, he brings into sharp focus the implications of advancement in genetic and brain science--and suggests what classrooms, teaching, and assessment will look like in the coming years as "traditionalists" lose their hold on the defintion of intelligence. MI: millennium brings a timely new focus to "intelligence," "understanding," and MI theory--for the practical questions of today, and the ethical questions of tomorrow.
