Biography
Dorothy R. Howie has considerable experience as a teacher and researcher in the fields of the teaching of thinking and inclusion at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, and the University of Hull, UK. She is currently based in the School of Psychology at the University of Auckland, in an honorary position, and leads the New Zealand training in the Feuerstein approach.
"Howie has again produced an admirable work on cognitive education, with a specific focus on the theory and application of the Instrumental Enrichment program (Feuerstein, 2006). She includes laudable examples to tie the program and its effects to New Zealand and the Maori population, but the work extends world-wide also. This volume adds importantly to the corpus of work on cognitive education in general and to Instrumental Enrichment in particular." David S. Martin, Professor/Dean Emeritus, Gallaudet University
