Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences
Thus far Gardner's work suggests nine intelligences. He speculates that there may be many more yet to be identified. Time will tell. These are the paths to children's learning teachers can address in their classrooms right now.
VERBAL/LINGUISTIC –
These children demonstrate strength in the language arts: speaking, writing, reading, listening. These students have always been successful in traditional classrooms because their intelligence lends itself to traditional teaching.
