If Minds Matter: A Foreword to the Future - Volume I. Arthur L. Costa & James Bellanca, eds.

Volume II Designs for Change focusses on the classroom. Active mental engagement is the factor that ultimately reveals the nature of student learning. Three strategic categories of student learning are addressed: how students learn to think; how students co-operate and become actively involved in the learning process; and how educators assess the growth of students in authentic and beneficial ways. This volume features many articles by major theorists, consultants and practitioners. Among these are two important articles on the theory of multiple intelligence: “Multiple Intelligence Theory - Creating a Thoughtful Classroom” by Howard Gardner, and “Seven Ways of Knowing” by David Lazear.
