Using Multiple Intelligence Theory to Identify Gifted Children.
Reid, Carol; Romanoff, Brenda
Educational Leadership, v55 n1 p71-74 Sep 1997
In the Charlotte-Mecklenburg (North Carolina) Public Schools, thousands of gifted children are tackling challenging, real-world problems correlated with curricular expectations. This gifted program fuses three philosophies: multiple-intelligences theory, problem-centered learning, and a thoughtful atmosphere to foster critical and creative thinking. Problem-solving assessments identify gifted kids; performance assessments evaluate their progress. (MLH)
