Smart Teaching:

Multiple Intelligence

Planning

We now know that there are many ways to be smart and that intelligence comes in many forms. Howard Gardners’ Multiple Intelligence model revolutionized our view of intelligence and it’s up to us to diversify how we teach to our students. A comprehensive plan for addressing all intelligence modes requires thoughtful organization and planning as we adapt our teaching style to include various approaches.

I desire that there be as many different persons in the world as possible; I would have each one be very careful to find out and preserve his own way.
