Multiple Intelligences Learning.
In a learning system that puts much pressure on obtaining proficiency in
standards, how does one teach in the 8 or 9 learning domains as prescribed by
Dr. Howard Gardner? For a full discussion please see my article published by the
United
States Distance Learning Association. Simply put, one does not teach
appealing to the different learning domains; instead, students learn.
Thus we must allow student the ability to choose between a number of different
learning activities to demonstrate their achievement and level of proficiency.
Examples... see
Romeo and
Juliet,
Brave New World and 1984,
House on Mango
Street, or
Final Senior
Reflection.
