  2. What are Multiple Intelligences? • Developed by Howard Gardner • Suggests there are seven ways people perceive and understand the world • Each of these ways is labeled “intelligences” “A set of skills allowing individuals to find and resolve genuine problems they face.”

  3. Intelligences • Verbal – Linguistic • Logical – Mathematical • Visual – Spatial • Body – Kinesthetic • Musical – Rhythmic • Interpersonal • Intrapersonal

  4. Differentiated Instruction To differentiate instruction is to recognize students varying background knowledge, readiness, language, preferences in learning, interests, and to react responsively. (Hall,T., 2002)

  5. How does Differentiated Instruction Work? DO: • Provide several learning options or different paths to learning • Provide appropriate levels of challenge for all students DO NOT: • Develop a separate lesson plan for each student • “Water down” the curriculum for some students

  6. Foundation for Differentiated Instruction • Get to know your students • Identify areas in your curriculum where DI could be incorporated – brainstorm ideas for activities, tasks, and assessments • Brainstorm ways to vary your instruction • Identify alternative methods of assessment

  7. Strategies for Differentiated Instruction • Utilize pre-tests to assess students needs • Encourage thinking at various levels of Bloom’s taxonomy • Use a variety of instructional delivery methods • Break assignments into smaller parts • Provide access to a variety of materials that target different learning preferences and reading abilities • Develop activities that target auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learners

  8. Strategies for Differentiated Instruction • Create activities that vary in level of complexity • Use flexible grouping to group students • Use a variety of assessment strategies • Balance teacher-assigned and student-selected projects • Offer students a choice of projects that reflect various learning styles • Make assessment an ongoing, interactive process

  9. Identifying Learning Styles • Assessment: Find Your Strengths! • Multiple Intelligence Test • Index of Learning Styles Questionnaire • The VARK Questionnaire • What’s Your Learning Style
