Summary

This text is based on original research from Harvard's Project Zero, the research and development group led by Howard Gardner, to show teachers and administrators how to successfully integrate MI into their schools and classrooms. Based on a national investigation of more than 40 schools and on detailed case studies, this book illustrates how teachers in six real-life situations in a range of different public schools were able to construct and implement curricula that enabled students to learn challenging disciplinary content through multiple intelligences.
