- Context – I run an educational non-profit that aims to transform the educational culture/system that kids are put through across the world. I am working on a comprehensive scientific framework of assessment that we can use to build a system of education whose broad goal is to maximize human potential and systematically fulfill that potential across cultures. As you can imagine, this is a very ambitious project. I want to start with understanding the full extent of whatever progress has been made in this regard. I am aware that a lot of alternate systems of education exist which aim to do the same. So, I'm starting off with a detailed literature review on what knowledge exists on this subject. I would ideally like to start off with books that speak specifically about how educational systems need to include all the dimensions of intelligence, if there are such books.
