8. Benefits of using Multiple Intelligences Theory
Curriculum --Traditional schooling heavily favors the verbal- linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligences. Gardner suggests a more balanced curriculum that incorporates the arts, self-awareness, communication, and physical education.

9. Instruction -- Gardner advocates instructional methods that appeal to all the intelligences, including role playing, musical performance, cooperative learning, reflection, visualization, story telling, and soon.  Assessment -- This theory calls for assessment methods that take into account the diversity of intelligences, as well as self- assessment tools that help students understand their intelligences.
