Multiple Intelligence Theory

Dr. Howard Gardner, researcher and advocate of the Multiple Intelligence Theory, has proposed three ways that teachers can utilize his theory in the classroom:

  1. Cultivating desired capabilities and talents in our students
  2. Approaching a concept, subject matter, or discipline in a variety of ways
  3. Personalizing education as we take human differences seriously

What do you think Gardner means? What would these look like when implemented into the classroom and what kind of students would these strategies benefit?

English Essay

in literary terms, the “conflict” of a story’s plot is represented as two opposing forces (man vs. man, man vs. self, man vs. society or an element of society, or man vs. nature) that revolve around the main character and drive the events of the story forward.  Whatever the case may be, the story’s “conflict” is represented as a dilemma or concern (sometimes known as the “theme”) that is conveyed within the story and reinforced through the story’s characters, details, and other elements. Baldwin and Hughes do a stupendous job of providing their audience with a variety of devices to create intersectionality within their short stories, alike. Demonstrate in your writing a deeper understanding of these authors’ intentionality and deliberateness regarding social construct on the paramount issues regarding African Americans as a marginalized people.
In an essay of at least 5-6 pages, identify a dilemma/concern that the story conveys, and discuss how the characters, details, and other elements help to illustrate and reinforce the issue/dilemma you have identified

Multiple Intelligences: A Case Study

The infusion of Multiple Intelligences theory into the curriculum has been proven to increase student achievement, including improved engagement and performance on standardized tests. However, even with the research, many educators focus on delivering content standards instead of permeating their curriculum with pedagogy that engages students and deepens their understanding of higher order thinking skills. When responding, be sure to refer to examples, theory, and research from your readings and other sources to support your conclusions.
Part 1: Sarah, a third grader in Mrs. Smith’s class, enjoys coming to school and learning. She is quiet and well-behaved. She does not have very many friends and usually plays alone at recess time. Sarah generally receives average grades in reading and math on her report cards; however, Mrs. Smith thinks Sarah has greater potential and is not applying herself fully. Sarah loves to role play and read aloud in class; however, she struggles with writing.

  • How can Mrs. Smith find out what type of learner Sarah is?
  • How can she use this information to help Sarah excel in the classroom and go beyond just a basic student?

Part 2: Mrs. Smith’s class just completed a comprehension test on the story they were reading in class. Sarah received a failing grade on this written test. The test was comprised of open-ended questions, multiple choice, and short answers. This grade surprised Mrs. Smith, as Sarah was able to express her knowledge and understanding of the text through class discussions and through collaborative activities.

  • Why do you think that Sarah may have received a failing grade on the written assessment and that this does not reflect the knowledge displayed during the discussions and collaborative group assignments?
  • What strategies can Mrs. Smith incorporate into her lessons to help Sarah with this disconnect in the future?

  • A definition of intelligence.
  • An overview and analysis of Multiple Intelligences Theory.
  • An evaluation of implications of Multiple Intelligence Theory for classroom instruction.
  • Clear descriptions of each of Gardner’s 8 Multiple Intelligences (new research suggests a possible 9th intelligence – you may or may not include this – your choice).

  • An analysis of how Multiple Intelligences Theory can help teachers to create and implement appropriate strategies to better meet the learning needs of diverse students.
  • Specific examples of instructional and assessment strategies that address Multiple Intelligences.
  • A discussion of how cultural bias can impact teaching and learning in the classroom as it relates to Multiple Intelligences.

In addition, you must use research to support your presentation content (at least five sources, at least three of which must be from the last five – ten years). Your presentation must demonstrate an attention to addressing Multiple Intelligences in the delivery of your information (examples might be including graphics for visual learners, musical themes, activities or demonstrations via video, or asking participants to explore a tool or website, etc.).  In addition to the 10  content slides, you must also include a title slide and reference slide.
