Project Zero
• Educational Research Group– Founded by Nelson Goodman– Howard Gardner founding research assistant
• Co-director 1972-2000 (with David Gardner)
• Goal is to understand and build on human cognitive development– Processes of Learning in the arts and other disciplines
• Places learner at center of educational process– Go back to Table of Contents
Theory of Multiple Intelligences
• Traditional notion of Intelligence to limited– IQ test– Focus on Linguistic and logical-mathematical Intelligence
• Different Methods of learning and processing– Individual of one another– Different Intelligences
• Bodily-kinesthetic , Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Linguistic, Logical-mathematical, Musical, Naturalist, and Spatial

Implementation of Theory of Multiple Intelligences
• 8 different Pathways to learning– One for each type of learner– Use of experiences in natural world (naturalist), pictures (spatial), a
physical experience(bodily-kinesthetic), music (musical), numbers or logic (logical-mathematical), self-reflection (intrapersonal), social experience (interpersonal), and words (Linguistic)
• Train Teachers to present their lessons in multiple ways– Using music, cooperative learning, art activities, role play,
multimedia, field trips, inner reflection, along with traditional methods

Why is the Multiple Intelligences model successful
• Each student has opportunity to excel in at least one area
• Each student learns a subject matter in a variety of different ways, creating more chances of success and retaining information
• Adapts to students rather than having students adapt to it– Go back to Table of Contents

Teachers Role in a Multiple Intelligences program
• Observe students from different perspectives– How do they learn best?
• Pushing students rather than pulling• Working with students rather than for them• Become more creative and multimodal in own
learning– Development in self– Go back to Table of Contents
Technology Use in a Multiple Intelligences Program
• Computers widely available in some areas– Allows for students to learn at own pace– Students have access to many tools that may cater
to their individual needs• A lot of information available• Programs with audio content, programs with great
visual representation , etc.• Go back to Table of Contents

Implementing a Multiple Intelligences Program in Today’s classroom
• Assessment drives instruction– Tough to assess untraditional intelligences
• Curriculum is rigid and inflexible at times• Educational reforms only happen in times of
crisis– Tough to make changes
– Go back to Table of Contents
Implications for adult learning and development
• Theory of Multiple Intelligences not just for kids• A lot of adults are not in jobs that make optimal use of
their highest developed intelligence– (May be a Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence working in a logical
desk-job when they would be better placed in a job where they could move around like a forest ranger, recreational leader, or physical therapist)
• Gives adults a new way to look at their lives– Examining potentials they left behind that they can now
develop through work, courses, or even hobbies– Go back to Table of Contents
