What do we know about learning and internalization? �All human beings possess at least eight quite separate forms of intelligence (Multiple Intelligences)�-Howard Gardner We ought to configure education to allow two outcomes: (1) students encounter materials in ways that allow them access to their content, and (2) students have the opportunity to show what they have learned, in ways that are comfortable for them yet also interpretable by the surrounding society� - Howard Gardner Learning is not a spectator sport. We do not learn much just sitting in classes listening to teachers, memorizing prepackaged assignments and spitting out answers� -Stephen Ehrmann
