MI: The theory of Multiple Intelligences derives from the fact that intelligence is problem-solving and there are many different ways to solve problems. Unfortunately, too often schools only offer narrow pathways for students to learn. Dr. Hoerr's school, the New City School in St. Louis, began using MI in 1988, and has played a leadership role in showing others how to use MI. In this session, Dr. Hoerr will share strategies that teachers and principals can use in bringing MI into their schools.
Hoerr's newest book is Taking Social Emotional Learning Schoolwide: The Formative Five Success Skills for Students and Staff. He shows how school culture can be a tool to prepare students to succeed in life. His previous book, The Formative Five: Fostering Grit, Empathy, and Other Success Skills Every Student Needs, set out the success skills that students need. Hoerr wrote four other books: Fostering Grit; The Art of School Leadership; Becoming a Multiple Intelligences School; and School Leadership for the Future and has written more than 150 articles. His "Principal Connection" column was published in Educational Leadership 2004-2018. Hoerr has presented at conferences around the world on grit, leadership, multiple intelligences, faculty collegiality, instructional leadership, and the Formative Five. He is working on a new book, The Principal As CEO: Chief Empathy Officer.
