I thought I would include a couple of
received recently about the matter of character in education.
The first is written/audio
piece from The Economist on resilience,
intelligence, socio-economic factors, and parenting.
The second is a brief
letter from Howard Gardner about measuring kids. (Gardner is Harvard professor well-known
in education circles for, among other things, his work on multiple
intelligences. He was one of the speakers in last year’s G20 meeting – as per
my last post.)
Finally, here is a fun video clip I received
this morning that presents a lovely vignette on the meaning of sportsmanship
and compassion.
These are interesting parenting touchstones,
but also food for thought when we start to look at future priorities for
Appleby.
