About the Author

Jim Vega (b. 1989) is a native of Brownsville, Texas, where his family has lived since the late 1800s. After beginning a family of his own, Vega became interested in the ways and people express their intelligence-his two sons, he says, couldn't have been more different! Vega still lives in Brownsville, with his family and several rescue dogs.

Background

In 1983, the publication of a groundbreaking book revolutionized people's understanding of psychology and education. Its author, Howard Gardner proposed that everyone has seven kinds of intelligence, and that each individual exhibit more strength in some of these intelligences than in others. Educators use his theory to adapt their methods so that they can effectively teach the variety of students in their classrooms.
