This work shows teachers and administrators how to successfully integrate Multiple Intelligences into their schools and classrooms.

It also shows how the organizational practices within these teachers schools supported strong classroom work. Written in a clear, practical style, this book highlights how educators everywhere can both integrate MI theory and foster exceptional student work. This book will be an invaluable resource for soon-to-be as well as practicing teachers and administrators. ISBN: 978-0205342594
