The crucial range of abilities that effect how we do in life namely, self-awareness, impulse control, persistence, zeal, self-motivation, empathy and social deftness – make up a different way of being smart. Learn how to nurture and strengthen these abilities that are defined as emotional intelligence. Discover the “window” of opportunity for developing this intelligence as well as three key techniques to further its development.

Teach to a wide range of learners by matching lessons with multiple intelligence activities to ensure student learning success. Understand the importance of active involvement. Learn how to plan lessons to meet the needs of your students. Learn lesson plan structures that maximize use of class time in traditional and block schedules.

This workshop is designed to provide a practical application of the multiple intelligence theory to enhance learning. The key is to discover how students learn and to empower them to be in control of their learning using study skills, tools and techniques to capitalize on their intelligence strengths. Learn how to help students identify their intelligences. Use this information to structure lessons, to develop study skills, and to assess student learning. Learn six techniques to develop successful learners.

This workshop is designed to create an awareness of Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligence theory and his eight identified intelligences, to develop an understanding of the roles the intelligences play in learning successes and failures, to explore teaching techniques to capitalize on learning strengths, and to create lesson plans to teach the same concepts using the different intelligences.
