 * I have heard of Multiple Intelligences in Ready, Set, Teach last year. But I know very little. || I would like to know a lot more about Multiple Intelligences. I would also like to know who Howard Gardner is. || I learned that Multiple Intelligences are very useful in the classroom and that they will come in handy when I become a teacher. ||

Notes on Interview Video: Multiple Intelligences are different strengths that people use to learn. Teachers need to work with children and focus on their different ways of learning. Everything can be taught in more than one way, and we can reach every child and teach them in a way they can learn and in a way they do learn. Howard Gardner believes we need to teach students in a way that they know how to learn, and just focus on those cores. We hurt ourselves by saying that we can’t help a certain child because of their learning style.

Notes on Indianapolis School: They want to find other ways to assess and quiz children. The 8 different Intelligences are Linguistic, Logical-mathematical, Spatial, Musical, Bodily-kinesthetic, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, and Naturalist. Each area is equally important. We need to give children the chances to learn by their form of Intelligence.

Notes on Differentiated Instruction: Two different styles are Visual and Hands-On. Visual learners take what they see and they apply it to what they do or what they are going to learn. Hands-On learners need to physically do things, whether by using blocks to count or judge shapes or distances, or using their hands to do their work.
