certain degree failure good leadership message necessary tolerating
I think tolerating a certain degree of failure-not because it's good for you but because it's a necessary part of growth-is a very important part of the message the leadership can give.
teaching use way
Anything that is worth teaching can be presented in many different ways. These multiple ways can make use of our multiple intelligences.
smart matter
It's not how smart you are that matters, what really counts is how you are smart.
teaching learning care
You learn at your best when you have something you care about and can get pleasure in being engaged in.
smart stupid believe
While we may continue to use the words smart and stupid, and while IQ tests may persist for certain purposes, the monopoly of those who believe in a single general intelligence has come to an end. Brain scientists and geneticists are documenting the incredible differentiation of human capacities, computer programmers are creating systems that are intelligent in different ways, and educators are freshly acknowledging that their students have distinctive strengths and weaknesses.
math skills individual
An individual understands a concept, skill, theory, or domain of knowledge to the extent that he or she can apply it appropriately in a new situation.
mistake moving past
Knowledge is not the same as morality, but we need to understand if we are to avoid past mistakes and move in productive directions. An important part of that understanding is knowing who we are and what we can do... Ultimately, we must synthesize our understandings for ourselves.
teaching learning school
We've got to do fewer things in school. The greatest enemy of understanding is coverage... You've got to take enough time to get kids deeply involved in something so they can think about it in lots of different ways and apply it.
teaching thinking use
It may well be easier to remember a list if one sings it (or dances to it). However, these uses of the 'materials' of an intelligence are essentially trivial. What is not trivial is the capacity to think musically.
turning-points
Education is at a turning point
problem ability solve
The ability to solve problems or to create products that are valued within one or more cultural settings.
