WHAT?“It has always seemed strange to me that in our endless discussions about education so little stress is laid on the pleasure of becoming an educated person, the enormous interest it adds to life. To be able to be caught up into the world of thought -- that is to be educated.”

Edith Hamilton

QUICKWRITE

On a sheet of paper, write an answer to this question…

What is INTELLIGENCE??

“I am 100% convinced that if I were to come back to Earth in 50 years, people would laugh at the idea of uniform education.”

ALL human beings have multiple intelligences Can be strengthened or weakened over time Everyone has aspects of all 8 intelligences.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO ME??

Everyone’s brain works a little differently

All people have ALL intelligences in different amounts

The intelligences are not mutually exclusiveAct togetherMost people have 3-4

dominant ones

We learn most effectively when taught to several different intelligences

Students who understand their own

balance of multiple intelligences can: Better manage their own learningLearn to value their individual

strengths Instructors who apply M.I. theory can:

Provide more opportunities for students to cultivate their talents and improve their weaknesses

Engage the students in the material in ways that make sense to them

Intelligence isn’t staticWith work and practice, you can

strengthen your intelligencesIf neglected, they can weaken
