No matter what you think
No matter where you stand on MI, this video shows hard working teachers that give their soul to educating the next generation.
This is the true test, and definitely what I would want for my children. Keep up the great work!
this is a best tecnique and
this is a best tecnique and estrategies for teaching!
An Education in Nonsense
This is a very interesting video of what Key is trying to accomplish. I learned a great deal and am glad to see them successfully struggling with how to make the model work with NCLB. It is one clear reason why NCLB is not going to work with innovative ideas like MI at Key.
Keep up the good work Key!

While the theory of multiple intelligences is innovative, that does not mean it is an effective way of teaching. In fact, the implementation of such a theory as the basis for the education at Key was premature considering the lack of any evidence that these intelligences exist. Howard Gardener himself states in 2000 there is "little hard evidence for MI theory." He also admitted that "MI theory has few enthusiasts among psychometricians or others of a traditional psychological background" because they require "psychometric or experimental evidence that allows one to prove the existence of the several intelligences."
Imagine trying to teach a child a concept with no real definition or evidence of any kind and telling him or her it's how he or she learns. Such abstract nonsense has no place in schools, and the fact that it does not mesh with NCLB does not concern me in the least.
Good Video
