Description: This workshop will primarily focus on Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence(s) Theory and its potential applications in the classroom. We will compare and contrast MI theory with other child psychology/development theories; discussing the appropriateness of current educational policy and practice. Participants will examine the difference between learning styles and learning preferences and discuss how to identify and distinguish between the two in their students. While much of the focus will be on theory, a significant portion of the session will revolve around the integration of MI into teacher’s lesson/unit design. If you have ever wondered how you can meet the varied needs of both mainstreamed and special education students, while simultaneously helping all your students, this workshop will help give you the confidence and knowledge to do so.
