Howard Gardner Biography

Everything can be taught in more than one way – and everyone has multiple ways of thinking and learning. This theory of multiple intelligences which Howard Gardner first introduced more than 30 years ago has revolutionized the fields of education and psychology.
The John H. and Elisabeth A. Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education Gardner is a world-renowned psychologist. His 1983 book “Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences” detailed a new model of human intelligence that went beyond the traditional view that there was a single kind that could be measured by standardized tests.
He continues to build on his studies of intelligence and has since authored several hundred articles and nearly 30 books including “Leading Minds” (Basic Books 2011) “Five Minds for the Future” (Harvard Business Review Press 2009) “Changing Minds” (Harvard Business Review Press 2006) “The Disciplined Mind” (Penguin 2000) and his most recent “The App Generation: How Today’s Youth Navigate Identity Intimacy and Imagination in a Digital World” (Yale University Press 2013).
