Multiple intelligences

Multiple intelligences Howard Gardner All humans have all intelligences but people differ in their strengths Eight native “intelligences”: linguistic, logical, spatial, musical, kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, natural

MI Language is to be integrated with music, bodily activity, interpersonal relationships No linguistic goals of MI Basic sequence: awaken, amplify, teach with/for, transfer

MI Is applied to classrooms in a variety of ways (e.g. language corners, modifying activities) Not prescriptive for teachers Helps students become more well-rounded
