Overview
The theory of multiple intelligences (MIT) as developed by Howard Gardner can build awareness of the multiple ways to learn. Gardner identified eight intelligences over thirty years ago including musical–rhythmic, visual–spatial, verbal–linguistic, logical–mathematical, bodily-kinaesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic, later suggesting that existential intelligence be added. In this two-day workshop you will be given an introduction to the theory, the practical applications and many benefits. Knowing your own dominant intelligence as well as those of your students and colleagues will help increase overall effectiveness and motivation. You will be invited to experience the different ways of knowing with opportunities to draw, build, reflect, talk, write, sing, analyze, interact, think deeply, move and connect to nature. Multiple intelligence theory will support your continued growth as an educator and reflective practitioner. You will be given many ways to stay connected and updated on current research and resources related to multiple intelligence theory and practice. In addition, to short presentations with video and images, participants will have time to work together to experience the many intelligences and ways of knowing. At the end of the two days, participants will be familiar with the theory and how it applies to practice.
Objectives
Upon successful completion of the workshop, the participants will be able to:
- Assess and reflect on your own dominant way of knowing by taking the test and discussing the outcome with others
- Learn ways to apply multiple intelligence theory in the classroom and workplace by reflecting on case studies and scenarios
- Develop lesson that incorporate multiple intelligences using sample templates and group created plans.
- Increase your awareness of resources, research and opportunities to share and collaborate through the use of social media
- Explore ways of reaching and motivating all learners by relating the multiple intelligences amongst the participants to those that might be evident in the classroom.
