Dr. Armstrong, a nationally acclaimed authority in the field of Multiple Intelligences (MI), presents an overview of MI theory and its role in uncovering the giftedness in ALL children. MI incorporates a broad spectrum of human abilities into a coherent system that helps us explain how children learn and suggests that there are at least eight different ways of being smart. Armstrong strongly emphasizes the value of MI in addressing cultural diversity and the inclusion of students with disabilities within the regular classroom setting. He provides practical suggestions on how teachers can incorporate MI into their classroom environments and includes a creative way to teach MI to children.
