Teaching and Learning through Multiple Intelligences
Seminar/Workshop Content Outline:
PART I – Explanation 1. What is the theory of multiple intelligences (M.I.)? 2. How does this theory differ from the traditional definition of intelligence? 3. What do multiple intelligences have to do with my classroom? 4. How has M.I. theory developed since it was introduced in 1983? 5. Who are the critics of this theory and what do they say? 6.

What are some simple ways to get started? 4. What are some of the challenges I may face? 5. How do I assess students' progress? 6. How does M.I. curriculum align with state and national standards? 7.

EXPLANATION
1.1 What is the theory of multiple intelligences (M.I.)?
"An intelligence is the ability to solve problems, or to create products, that are valued within one or more cultural settings."
