Minds for the Future

I'm reading Howard Gardner's latest book, Five Minds for the Future.  His premise is that we need to cultivate these minds to be successful in the future.  The minds are: Disciplinary Mind (being good in at least one discipline), Synthesizing Mind (ability to integrate ideas from different disciplines), Creating Mind (ability to uncover new questions, ideas, and phenomena), Repsectful Mind (awareness and appreciation of the differences among human beings), and Ethical Mind (fulfilling one's responsibilities as a citizen.)  It's a good read and very much related to my work with the Kellogg Foundation because it calls into question what we assume education is for.  And while I haven't finished it yet, he seems to make a good case that our educational system is a bit out of date.
