Editorial Reviews

Product Description
One of the greatest challenges faced by every school and every educator is encouraging and accommodating a full range of student diversity while simultaneously promoting a uniformly high level of academic achievement for all students. Two powerful learning models--multiple intelligences and learning styles--provide us with the best means of rising to this challenge. Yet each model has particular strengths and weaknesses that directly correspond to the strengths and weaknesses of the other, meaning that a truly holistic model--one that allows educators to engage a full range of human diversity and meet rigorous academic standards--occurs only in the integration of these two great models.

The book includes rationales and research-based principles of learning that support integrated learning; many classroom examples, activities, and organizers to help educators process ideas and analyze their current practices; instruments for readers to identify their own style and intelligence profiles; and planning templates for designing integrated lessons, assessments, and curriculum.

The authors show educators at all grade levels and in all content areas how to implement a holistic learning program that seamlessly integrates learning styles and multiple intelligences into instruction, curriculum, and assessment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Techniques That You Can Use In Your Classroom Tomorrow, November 24, 2000

By A Customer

I have been studying learning styles for the past six months, and I have never found a book that was this user-friendly. You could honestly pick up this book with no prior knowledge and start using learning styles and multiple intelligences into your classroom tomorrow. There is a brief overview of Myers-Briggs' learning styles and Gardener's multiple intelligences theories. The authors show how the two theories inter-relate. The remaining three chapters takes you through the process of bringing the theories into practice in your classroom. It is an extrememly easy and exciting read. I have made it through the book in two days of light reading. Also, this will not be a book you read once, and never pick up again; you will want to reread the material over and over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tool, January 19, 2003

By	ardnam "ardnam" (NJ) - See all my reviews

'This book is concise and reader-friendly. It is a great tool for determining learning styles and dominant intelligences. I use this book regularly as a classroom teacher; it helps me keep each child's learning in perspective. I would also recommend this book for parents as it will provide insight into their children and will help them in their partnership with their children's teachers. I have found this text very useful in the work I do with parents.
