This first slide is to introduce you to the different terms used in Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence model.

Hi! My name is Allison. I am an elementary school teacher. I am

here to remind teachers about the different learning styles our

students have, and to help teachers realize the ways we as teachers can help students with simple tools like: Howard Gardner’s

Multiple Intelligence Assessment, this will help get us on the right

track to helping our students learn effectively. To your right are

terms that you will need to know. Click on each one for a
