Multiple Intelligences and Student Achievement

release date: Jan 01, 1999
Multiple Intelligences and Student Achievement
Finally, a book about multiple intelligences (MI) theory that answers the questions that all educational innovations must ultimately address: "What are the results on student achievement?" "How were those results achieved?" Multiple Intelligences and Student Achievement describes six schools that have used MI theory for five or more years. Through case studies of two elementary, two middle-level, and two high schools, Linda and Bruce Campbell illustrate why markedly different schools--large and small, rich and poor, inner-city and suburban--looked to MI when they wanted to boost student learning. In schools with long-term MI programs, achievement gains are impressive; in fact, the disparity between white and minority students is reduced or eliminated. Students at all three levels outperform their district, county, and national peers in basic skills. Such gains are possible even though teachers do not teach to standardized and state assessment tests. Instead, they believe that all students have strengths, and, as a result, students come to believe in themselves as well. Moreover, teachers have discovered that instruction through multiple intelligences is so positive and engaging that students--all students--can''t help but learn. This book provides educators who are new to MI theory with solid achievement data and curricular formats to support, inform, and inspire their work. Those who have already worked with MI theory will find encouragement to continue and suggestions for refining their efforts.

For Which We Stand

release date: Oct 01, 1996
For Which We Stand
Rufus was one of the first persons to propose Statehood for Missouri as Non-Slave State in 1816. Lincoln''s Attorney General Edward Bates moved into Rufus Easton''s home to study law in 1815. Shortly before Lincoln issued his emancipation proclamation in 1863, Edward Bates as the U.S. Attorney General had already declared that all Negroes were U.S. citizens. It was Bates who demanded equal pay for the Negro soldiers, whom fought so valiantly for the Union. Only a year after the Civil War, in July 1866 Edward Bates wrote of Rufus Easton: "Easton was a wiser man than he passed for, and a better man than his adversaries chose to admit. All acknowledged his professional ability as compared with his associates, but many failed to give him the credit he deserved for his personal virtues. He was certainly the best-read lawyer of the Missouri bar in his day, the regular training of his youth and the indefatigable industry of his riper years, made him always, a formidable adversary and generally a case - gaining advocate he still lives in my memory with respect and gratitude." In 1805 Rufus Easton refused to partake in Burr''s Conspiracy in which General James Wilkinson was a major player. Besides being the first postmaster Easton was also appointed by President Thomas Jefferson, Judge of the Louisiana Territory. As Judge of the territory Rufus Easton held jurisdiction over the largest land mast ever throughout the continent including Canada and Central America. The territory was so immense that it stretched from the St. Louis to the Canada border and as one historian expressed it: "westward into seemingly infinity".

His Haitian Baby Was Not for Papa - Ties to LBJ
By George: His Haitian Baby Was Not For Papa A detailed examination of de Mohrenschildt''s ties to LBJ and to Texas oilmen are presented in this volume. Not every oilman is covered within this portion. George McGhee, George Bush and C.B. Wrightsman are covered in other volumes, all had ties to de Mohrenschildt and LBJ. In addition, this volume reviews the relationship between Angier Biddle Duke, Clint Murchison with de Mohrenschildt, LBJ and JFK. In 1966 LBJ helped cover up the H-bomb accident in Palomares, Spain. Very few Americans know of this tragedy. Volume also contains a wealth of compelling evidence on Colonel Howard Burris'' association and meeting with de Mohrenschildt on April 26th,1963, seven months before the assassination. NBC''s spokeswoman Doris Kearns Goodwin refused to respond to Adamson''s enclosed letters between LBJ and George de Mohrenschildt. Adamson asked Mrs. Goodwin "Why is Vice-President LBJ writing to Lee Harvey Oswald''s closest friend seven months before President Kennedy''s assassination?" Doris Goodwin is a Champion of Lyndon Baines Johnson and instead of addressing the question posed to her, she ignored it. Because they had a love affair. How would Abraham Lincoln think of his biographer writing a story about himself and at the same time not telling the entire truth about the assassination of another President.
