The Human Brain
• The brain works differently for different people.
• That brain is split into two hemispheres– Left and Right have different responsibilities

• There is a process that the brain follows to make a memories.
• The Creb cycle is an important subsection of the memory process.

• Emotional events- memories last
• Learning needs a good environment
• Nutrition is important to learning
• Teaching strategies

Multiple Intelligence Theory (MI Theory)The standard definition of intelligence
“Intelligence is the capacity that allowed for success in school; the linguistic and logic-mathematical skills needed in a traditional classroom”
Howard Gardner challenges and creates a new definition of what intelligence actually is:
“Intelligence is…the capacity to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural settings”
The Eight Areas of Intelligence

MI AS A CLASSROOM TOOL
The Multiple Intelligences Theory should augment traditional methods of teaching, not replace them.

• Use centers to focus on MI activities
• Focus on career education and MI
