There are review times for 20 Juniors & Seniors who are taking a Portfolio class this spring.   A lottery will be held if more than 20 students volunteer.   If fewer than 20 juniors and seniors volunteer, we will open reviews to sophomores.

Students to be reviewed will be notified of time and place via e-mail on Friday, May 4.

These voluntary reviews of current Portfolio students’ work will be 20-25min long, 5 reviews in the morning, 5 in the afternoon over 2 days, for a total of 20.

All students are strongly encouraged to witness the reviews in preparation for next year’s mandatory semesters’ end reviews.

These will take place during the College’s review board days (Monday, May 14th & Tuesday 15th).

We will cross reference traditional studio & TFU review strategies.

Steve Locke, Lois Hetland & John Crowe will be the core group of reviewers with Kyle Brock’s assistance.  We have invited all Art Education faculty for any/all of the reviews.

This special lecture at Harvard has been recommended by Lois Hetland as being of great interest.  Howard Gardner will speak about his new book.

Five Minds for the Future
Thursday, May 3
5:30-7:00 pm
Askwith Lecture Hall, Longfellow Hall
Harvard University
Appian Way, Cambridge

Howard Gardner, John H. and Elisabeth A. Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education, will speak  about his new book, Five Minds for the Future. He will explain why, in the future, it will be important to develop five kinds of minds, both in school and in other educational environments:  the disciplined mind, the synthesizing mind, the creating mind, the respectful mind, and the ethical mind. While individuals may differ in their strengths and proclivities, optimally each person will develop the full complement of minds. Gardner will discuss the developmental sequence of these kinds of minds, and the ways in which they may conflict with, or complement one another.
 
Book sales and a signing will be held just before and after the forum.

Robert Schwartz, Academic Dean, will provide an introduction. Following the lecture, he will present the Singer Prizes for Excellence in Secondary School Teaching.

This lecture is free and open to the general public. Seating is available on a first-come,
first-served basis. Tickets are not necessary, unless otherwise noted. For information, contact Shawn Wade Tuttle at tuttlesh@gse.harvard.edu.
