| Overview: |
| |
Do you want to reach all of your students? Do you want to make your lessons more interesting and reinforcing for your students? Do you want to build in more flexibility in your teaching? Then this workshop is for you. The Theory of Multiple Intelligences will provide you with a frame for understanding your students, understanding your own teaching style, and developing lessons that invite all learners. You will learn the theory through a variety of simulations and case studies of real students, while building your toolbox of effective classroom strategies that reach all students. Be prepared to sing, draw, build, reflect, talk, write, analyze, interact and connect to nature, while having fun learning. |

| Objectives: |
| |
Participants will be able to:
- Understand how they can use multiple intelligences in their classroom
- Create reasonable hypotheses about the strengths profile of their students
- Develop a lesson plan that incorporates all 8 intelligences
- Increase their awareness of their own personal cognitive profile
- Apply the theory of MI to determine the most effective interventions/strategies for different learners
- Generate action plans for both continued learning and development of skill for adapting the Reggio Emilia philosophy.
|
| |
| Methodology: |
| |
In order to effectively model the use of MI, participants will experience a variety of effective, research based instructional approaches. These include:
- Pre-assessment of background knowledge
- Simulations that highlight all 8 intelligences
- Role plays of a strength based interview
- A variety of case studies (as part of a power point presentation)
- Station teaching
- Think Pair Shares
- Personal reflections
- Brainstorming in strength based groups
- Application to own lesson plans
- Other strategies appropriate to adult learners
