The Blake Community Forum, cohosted by The Blake School and the Walker,
is an evening dedicated to learning and education in the 21st century. Featuring
a keynote presentation by Dr. Howard Gardner, followed by a panel discussion
moderated by Katherine Lanpher of Minnesota Public Radio, this program addresses
the challenges of acquiring knowledge in a world of information overload
and takes a look at the ways we apply that knowledge in our emerging global
society. Panelists include Carol Johnson, PhD (Minneapolis Public Schools),
Peter Brosius (Children's Theatre Company), and Andrea Lea, IHM (College
of St. Catherine). Gardner is an internationally renowned Harvard educator
and psychologist who revolutionized thinking about intelligence, learning,
and creativity. He is the author of multiple books on learning and education
such as Intelligence Reframed: Multiple Intelligences for the 21st Century;
The Disciplined Mind; The Arts and Human Development; and Art, Mind,
and Brain: A Cognitive Approach to Creativity.
