32. Dee Ann’s Multiple Intelligences Today
33. Applications Dr. Gardner says that our schools focus on linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligence Leads to kids being labeled as “learning disabled” or “hyperactive” when they may not be Theory of multiple intelligences suggests that teachers be trained to present their lessons in a wide variety of ways using music, cooperative learning, art activities, role play, multimedia, field trips, inner reflection, and much more
34. Don’t try to fit MI into a box. As educators we must teach the whole child and work to address all intelligences and their many facets. The Key is ….
35. Implementing Gardner Lesson Design – Using all or different intelligences and asking students for opinions on them Student Projects – Students can learn to "initiate and manage complex projects" when they are creating student projects. Assessments – Devised to allow students to show what they have learned.
36. Implementing Gardner Misuses Trying to teach all concepts or subjects using all intelligences Using an intelligence as a background for other activities Direct evaluation or grading of intelligences without regard to context.
37. Implementing Gardner Common Good Uses (from Gardner himself) “Cultivate those skills and capabilities that are valued in the community and in the broader society.” “It makes far more sense to spend a significant amount of time on key concepts, generative ideas, and essential questions and to allow students to become familiar with these notions and their implications.” “At the heat of this perspective- in theory and in practice- inheres in taking human difference seriously.”
