Howard Gardner

Howard Gardner came up with the Multiple Intelligences Theory. He believes that all children learn differently, and that you should not teach every lesson only using one intelligence. This doesn't mean that you should teach using all intelligences, but you should use several different ones in your lessons, pertaining to how your students learn. You can find this out by having your students complete a learning styles survey, to decide how your students learn. It could be spatial, kinesthetic, linguistic, and so on. This is very important to know, so that you are reaching all of your students needs. From taking the survey, I found out that my top three intelligences are: body movement (kinesthetic), musical, and self (intrapersonal). I agree with all of these, I feel like these are the ways I learn best. Here is a link to my results.
