• 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

DEE ANN’S MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES TODAY
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
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.
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.
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.
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.”
