Product Description

This outstanding resource offers an accurate reflection of Howard Gardner's "Theory of Multiple Intelligences" -- and the knowledge to extend this theory to effective classroom practice. This book describes implications for pedagogy, team teaching, student strengths, curriculum, assessment, community involvement, and diverse classroom models. Designed for the teacher who wishes to teach effectively to all types of learners. The authors devote one chapter to each of the eight intelligences: Verbal-Linguistic, Logical-Mathematical, Kinesthetic, Visual-Spatial, Musical, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, and Naturalist. They define the intelligence, provide a checklist for identifying it, suggest environmental considerations, and offer related teaching strategies. Additional chapters survey Gardner's recent work on teaching for understanding, performance-based assessment, and model MI school programs and student outcomes. For classroom teachers, school psychologists, and anyone with an interest in intelligences.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource for expanding your classroom!, March 12, 2008

By	Kate Kate (Pratt, KS United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Teaching and Learning Through Multiple Intelligences (3rd Edition) (Paperback)

This is a wonder book/resource on how to approach lessons in the classroom to account for multiple intelligences. I just borrowed this book from the library to use for a paper, and just loved all the information in it that I am now going to purchase is to use for my classroom. The information is so well written and laid out in a manner that is easy to follow whether you are quickly skimming through or sitting down to read it cover to cover. I strongly recommend this book for any teacher wishing to expand their students' learning experiences.
