Mi At 25

Featuring a variety of viewpoints from the most prominent experts of our time in the fields of education, psychology, and neuroscience, MI at 25 addresses vital issues in the acceptance and implementation of Multiple Intelligences. Are there convincing arguments and evidence supporting the validity of the theory of M I? Is MI truly a scientific theory that will survive the test of time? What is the impact and contribution of MI theory to classroom practice, school design/reform, and the success of individual students? What are the cultural barriers to MI-inspired educational practices and research initiatives? This important book provides a much-needed corrective that rebalances and deepens our knowledge of MI, in contrast to the typical “pro”or “anti”multiple intelligences rhetoric. Careful readers will come away with crucial information to help them improve their teaching practice, develop more effective curricula, and become lifelong learners. This readable collection includes chapters by Noam Chomsky, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Linda Darling-Hammond, James Robert Flynn, Maxine Greene, Marc Hauser, Deborah W. Meier, Charles Murray, Michael I. Posner, and Ellen Winner, and features a special chapter by Howard Gardner.

In this report, the IOM makes several recommendations for improving SSA's capacity to determine disability benefits more quickly and efficiently using the Listings.
