- Pluralistic view of the mind
- People have different cognitive strengths and
contrasting cognitive styles - There are biological links to particular
intelligences

grammatical sentences

effectively in ones life

motivates them, how they work, and how to work
cooperatively with them. - Examples politicians, teachers, and clinicians.
13The Multiple Intelligence School
- Based on
- Not all people have the same interests and
abilities and not all of us learn in the same
way. - No one person can learn everything
- When I plan my lessons I take these assumptions
into consideration. Inside my lesson plan book I
have a Multiple Intelligences Smart Card which
gives me activities I can do that address
specific intelligences.
14Educational Implications
- Curriculum should be presented in a plethora of
ways - Assessment of students should be developmentally
appropriate
15My Personal Philosophy
- I believe children have individual learning
styles and every child can learn. - I agree with the theory of multiple intelligences
and have seen evidence of these intelligences in
my classroom with my children.
