This book explains, with examples, how teachers can enhance the gifts and talents students bring to their own learning experience. The examples show how teachers, researching with pupils, can transform how education is understood in schools. The keys to this transformation involve multimedia representations ofsocial and emotional aspects of learning that permit the various talents of individual learners to be recognized and developed. A Web site with access to these multimedia accounts features video-clips illustrating the expression of gifts and talents in the pedagogies of Hymer, Huxtable, and Whitehead with teachers and pupils.
