Tom Hoerr's book BECOMING A MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES SCHOOL should be at the top of every educator's list of books to read. Tom tells it like it is and doesn't gloss over the hurdles and challenges he and his staffs were faced with at the New City School during the process of becoming a Multiple Intelligences School.

One can appreciate Tom's honesty and openness when he discusses the difficulties during the phases of MI implementation. His success lies in his approach, which recognizes that these frustrations are necessary steps for the growth and development of any organization.

Great emphasis was placed on developing collegiality among Tom's staff during this courageous journey. I found it refreshing to read about the New City staff as they learned from one another as true colleagues and as real partners. It is apparent that they grew professionally in their roles as educators from their experiences while implementing MI.

It certainly is a challenge for classroom teachers to design their own curriculum and to create assessments to determine student achievements. But the thrill and sense of accomplishment in creating many ways of learning and making the material accessible to all students makes the effort more than worthwhile.

Having read Tom's book I am once again inspired to enthusiastically continue on my own journey, taking on new challenges as I implement MI in my first grade classroom at Epstein Hebrew Academy.

Wow! I loved Benji when I was a wee little tyke and I was so excited when I saw this title was coming out! I can't say I was much impressed with the film, but Scout Driggs' mastery of the adaptive novel is profound! Poor Benji, I was so sad when I read the bit about the drowning. For the Dog lover in all of us, Benji is a hero for the ages!

The book I am reviewing is Benji off the Leash written by Joe Camp. I think this book deserves five stars because it has a happy ending. It's terrific because its about a dog that a boy is trying to find. Its realistic fiction and an adventure. This book is about a boy named Colby and his dog Benji. Benji is lost. Benji got locked in an old house. He's locked in a house because of a dog snatcher. Colby is trying to find Benji. The problem in the story is that solved, but I can't tell you how. You have to read it. I'd recommend this book to people 7 and older because it's a chapter book and kids 6 and younger might not under stand the book.
