PowerPoint Presentation - MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCESThe theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 byDr. Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University.It suggests that the traditional notion of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes eight different intelligences to account for a broader range of humanpotential in children and adults.

Dr. GardnerThe Multiple Intelligences are:

Verbal/Linguistic Intelligence - word smartLogical-mathematical Intelligence - number/reasoning smartVisual/Spatial Intelligence - picture smartBodily/Kinesthetic Intelligence - body smartMusical/Rhythmic Intelligence - music smartInterpersonal Intelligence - people smartIntrapersonal Intelligence - self smartNaturalist Intelligence - nature smart

Multiple Intelligences examples:Verbal/Linguistic Intelligence - Mark Twain, Robert Frost, poets, writers, newscastersLogical-mathematical Intelligence - Einstein, accounting, banking, medicine, scientific researchVisual/Spatial Intelligence - Martin Luther King (dreamer). artists, architecture, advertisingBodily/Kinesthetic Intelligence - Adrian Peterson , dancers, dramatic acting, mime, physical educationMusical/Rhythmic Intelligence - Taylor Swift, music composers, music teachers, musical theatreInterpersonal Intelligence - Billy Graham, counseling, politics, sociologists, therapistsIntrapersonal Intelligence - Psychiatry, spiritual counseling, philosopherNaturalist Intelligence - Farmers, gardeners, florists, geologist, archaeologistsMultiple IntelligencesDr. Gardner says that our schools and culture focus most of their attention on linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligence. We esteem the highly articulate or logical people of our culture.However, Dr. Gardner says that we should also place equal attentionon individuals who show gifts in the other intelligences.Unfortunately, many children who have these gifts dont receive much reinforcement for them in school. Many of these kids, in fact,end up being labeled learning disabled, ADD (attention deficit disorder), or simply underachievers, when their unique ways of thinking and learning arent addressed by a heavily linguistic orlogical mathematical classroom.Thomas Armstrong - www.ThomasArmstrong.comGifted and Talented Students handoutMultiple Intelligences TheoryThe theory of multiple intelligences proposes a major transformationin the way our schools are run. It suggests that teachers be trained to present their lessons in a wide variety of ways using music, cooperative learning, art activities, role play, multimedia, field trips,inner reflection, and much more.How to Teach or Learn in 8 Different WaysOne of the most remarkable features of the theory of multipleintelligences is how it provides eight different potential pathways to learning. If a teacher is having difficulty reaching a student in the more traditional linguistic or logical ways of instruction, the theory ofmultiple intelligences suggests several other ways in which thematerial might be presented to facilitate effective learning.Thomas Armstrong - www.ThomasArmstrong.com8 Different WaysWhatever you are teaching or learning, see how you might connect it with:

Wordsverbal/linguisticNumbers, or logiclogical/mathematicalPicturesvisual/spatialMusicmusical/rhythmicSelf-reflectionintrapersonalA physical experiencebodily-kinestheticA social experienceinterpersonalAn experience in the natural worldnaturalist

Teaching ExampleFor example, if youre teaching or learning about the law of supply and demand, you might :Read about it (linguistic)Study mathematical formulas that express it (logical/mathematical)Examine a graphic chart that illustrates the principle (spatial)Observe the law in the natural world (naturalist) Observe the law in the human world of commerce (interpersonal)Examine the law in terms of your own body, e.g. when you supplyyour body with lots of food,the hunger demands goes down; when theres very little supply, your stomachs demand for food goesway up and you get hungry (bodily-kinesthetic/intrapersonal)Write a song that demonstrates the law (musical)

MI WHEEL ACTIVITYMultiple Intelligences and Technologyhttp://www.casacanada.com/multech.htmlMultiple Intelligences Report Card1, Write the name of a book you have read lately.2. Rate your math ability from 1-10 with 10 being highest.3. Write down the name of the kind of music you like.4. Write down how you revitalize yourself. 5. Write down what you can do that is a physical activity.6. Draw a picture that shows how you are feeling today.Self-Analysis WorksheetsElementary SurveyMiddle School SurveyMultiple Intelligence AssessmentComplete and bring results to next classMultiple Intelligences Rapby Shawna MunsonThe eight intelligences are really cool.We all have them so no one is a fool

Linguistic deals with writing and with words.We have language - we're not like animals or birds.

Logical-mathematical doesn't need to be a shock.If you study real hard, you'll be smarter than Spock!

Spatial involves seeing, drawing, and art,Creating different things and taking them apart.

In case you didn't know, kinesthetic is P.E.Get fit and coordinated athletically!

Naturalists are collectors of animals and plants.They like to press flowers and count little ants.

All of these so far are really neat,But I like musical 'cause it has a beat.

Sometimes, I feel lonely, without any friends,But interpersonal skills put that to an end.

Intrapersonal skills are when you want to reflect.For yourself, you should always have respect.

Now, I've come to the end of my rap.Learn in many ways and you'll never be a sap.

MI in the ClassroomClassroom activities frequently activate and utilize more than one of the multiple intelligences.

How can you use the theory of multiple intelligences to assess student achievement in your classroom? The MI approach to testing is closely related to authentic assessment. This approach enables students to demonstrate the depth of their understanding, connect their classwork to real-life experiences, and apply their knowledge to newsituations.

There is no "right" way to use multiple intelligences in testing and assessment. You don't have to overhaul your whole curriculum.But you can make an effort to address each student's strengths and weaknessesby using creative alternatives to traditional testing in your classroom.
