...orphanages... (The perfectionist English teacher in me couldn't let that go! :D)

Hello Dr. Howard Gardner,

I am writing to suggest a partnership between Multiple Intelligences and School for International Training (World Learning) - on a global basis but more specifically in Muscat, Oman where they have just recently started an innovative Master program.

I am HUGE fan of your ideas! I would like to be able to orient my career in education around the MI practice and research - my dream = to design educational programs and apply them in orphaneges around the world but especially in Romania, Oman, Kenya, Nigeria and Brazil. (I am originally from Romania, but having an American education)(just feel a bit lost as the movement seems to be in its beginnings when it comes to professional development)

I've looked at Harvard for a master degree. However, it seems a bit unreachable for me in terms of finances at the moment. I've also looked at School for International Training for a master in TESOL. I can visualize an amazing partnership between MI and SIT in Oman where I plan to move and work as a college teacher. And of course I would like to be part of that in any form...as a Master degree student for now.

Just an inspiring thought.

Thank you for all your work for this humanity.

Many blessings!

Yours truly,

Roxana Fera

Is there anyone from your specialists able to answer the questions above please?

Thank you.

I see a lot of emphasis on MI application at youth level. What about its application at adult level? I would like to open an ESL school based solely on MI theory. (All the ESL teachers are to be trained using this method.) However, beside teaching children, for whom the MI theory seems to be the most effective, I would like to be able to apply it effectively at adult level. Are there any studies indicating the extend to which adults accept being taught using the MI theory and, if yes, how effective is it? They will have to be convinced that they are being taught in a way that is completely different from the way they've been taught before. Is there an efficient way to convince them knowing the high degree of difficulty in changing habits especially mind and leaning habits.

Thank you.
