Five Minds for the Future

Description

'Five Minds for the Future' Conference led by Prof. Howard Gardner.

A full day Conference with Prof. Howard Gardner at The Vale Hotel on Thursday 18th November 2010.

“People who know my work in education think of me as the man who proposed seven, eight, or nine different intelligences. When I write about intelligence, I am trying to be a scientist. In talking about Five Minds I am of course interested in psychology, but I am really speaking from the perspective of policy. As the policy maker, there are Five Minds that I would promote today and tomorrow for all students.” Howard Gardner

Objectives

Howard Gardner and collaborators at Harvard’s Project Zero have embarked on applications of good work insights in primary schools, secondary schools and colleges; investigations of conceptions of trust and trustworthiness in young people; and studies of ethical issues associated with new digital media.

This will be Howard Gardner’s first visit to Wales and during our conference he will focus on some of his key ideas, for example, Five Minds for the Future, Changing Minds (Leadership) and Multiple Intelligences. Throughout the day he will be helping to extend our knowledge, improve our skills, deepen our understanding of learning, give insights into better leadership and outline what should be valued in global education.
