This article by Mary Ann Christison discusses the theory of multiple intelligences (MI). "As Gardner (1993:15) states: It is of the utmost importance that we recognize and nurture all of the varied human intelligences, and all of the combinations of intelligences. We are all so different largely because we all have different combinations of intelligences. If we recognize this, I think we will have at least a better chance of dealing appropriately with the many problems we face in the world."

In 1991, Bob Barraza and Shawn Patrello pursued their passion for improv and kids as they formed a duo named Kidprov® in order to teach the art of improvisation comedy in day-care centers across the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. Finding little response, they put their idea on the back burner. Meanwhile, Brad Newton, a teacher of elementary-aged gifted students chanced upon Bob and Shawn as they performed with a Dallas-area improv troupe. Little did they realize that this serendipitous encounter was the conceptive moment of what exists today....
