“the ability to solve problems or fashion products that are valued in a culture or community.”

Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences
Howard Gardner redefined intelligence:- There is no single measure of intelligence.- Each person possesses a spectrum of
intelligences that are combined and used in personal ways.
- Intelligences evolve with development and application.

Thomas Armstrong“Every child is a genius. That doesn’t mean that every child can paint like Picasso, compose like Mozart, or score 150 on an I.Q. test. But every child is a genius according to the original meanings of the word "genius," which are: "to give birth" (related to the word genesis) and "to be zestful or joyous," (related to the word genial). Essentially, the real meaning of genius is to "give birth to the joy" that is within each child. Every child is born with that capacity. Each child comes into life with wonder, curiosity, awe, spontaneity, vitality, flexibility, and many other characteristics of a joyous being. Young children have vivid imaginations, creative minds, and sensitive personalities. It is imperative that we, as educators and parents, help preserve these genius characteristics of children as they mature into adulthood, so those capacities can be made available to the broader culture at a time of incredible change.”

Why do we appreciate multiple intelligences?
Think and share – If you were to learn how to bake bread, what method would you use to accomplish the task?

How do I learn?- Watch a cooking show.- Read a cook book.- Ask a friend to show me.- Visit a bakery and observe.- Jump in and try it myself, using what
I already know.

Evaluate Your Own Multiple Intelligences
• As an educator, understanding your own strengths and weaknesses helps you prepare for a variety of learners.
• Take the MI Survey, understand that this is just a “snap-shot” of your strengths today. Multiple Intelligences can evolve and develop.

How do you plan for MI in Lesson Planning?
• Brainstorm with your partner –create activities for ages 3-4 to incorporate the 8 intelligences.
• Create a learning web to include activities. Remember to reflect upon your successes at the end of each unit.

Why do I need to use MI in my classroom?
• Many educators already teach using MI or something similar without using the terminology.
• Being aware of MI and its implications will allow for purposeful curriculum development that reaches all students.
• Teachers should be willing to change their own teaching behavior to provide for the multiple intelligences of their students.
