Who is Smart?

Page 4: How Are You Smart?

• Theory introduced by Howard Gardner in 1983• People are not born with all of the

intelligence that they will ever have • Intelligence can be learned

throughout life• Everyone is intelligent in at least

eight different ways and can develop each aspect of intelligence to an average level of competency

OVERVIEW OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE

DEE ANN’S MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES TODAY

Page 34: How Are You Smart?

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

Page 35: How Are You Smart?

The Key is …. 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.

Page 36: How Are You Smart?

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.

Page 37: How Are You Smart?

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.

Page 38: How Are You Smart?

Implementing GardnerCommon 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.”
