In 1983, Howard Gardner (Harvard professor) said:
All people learn differently.
There are 9 “intelligences,” or ways people learn.
![Page 3: What is the theory of multiple intelligences? Alison Bencivenga Benold Middle School Georgetown, TX.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032107/56649ef25503460f94c04b51/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Some kinds of intelligence will be dominant over others. This is
different for each person.

Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence
Student learns best with spoken and written language.

Visual/Spatial Intelligence
Student learns best by seeing information and visual displays.

Mathematical/Logical Intelligence
Student learns best through reasoning and problem-solving; good at seeing
patterns and connections.
![Page 7: What is the theory of multiple intelligences? Alison Bencivenga Benold Middle School Georgetown, TX.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032107/56649ef25503460f94c04b51/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Bodily/Kinesthetic Intelligence
Student learns best by doing; physical interaction and practice of skills works best.
![Page 8: What is the theory of multiple intelligences? Alison Bencivenga Benold Middle School Georgetown, TX.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032107/56649ef25503460f94c04b51/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Musical/Rhythmic Intelligence
Patterns, rhythms and music are
excellent ways for these students to learn and retain
information.
![Page 9: What is the theory of multiple intelligences? Alison Bencivenga Benold Middle School Georgetown, TX.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032107/56649ef25503460f94c04b51/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Intrapersonal Intelligence
Student learns best by assessing the values and
responsibilities attached to learning; strongly aware of their
own feelings and attitudes.
![Page 10: What is the theory of multiple intelligences? Alison Bencivenga Benold Middle School Georgetown, TX.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032107/56649ef25503460f94c04b51/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Interpersonal Intelligence
Cooperative learning strategies are very effective with these students, who learn best through interaction with
others.
![Page 11: What is the theory of multiple intelligences? Alison Bencivenga Benold Middle School Georgetown, TX.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032107/56649ef25503460f94c04b51/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Naturalist Intelligence
Students are adept at sorting
information into classes and categories, in
addition to the study of nature.
![Page 12: What is the theory of multiple intelligences? Alison Bencivenga Benold Middle School Georgetown, TX.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032107/56649ef25503460f94c04b51/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Existential Intelligence
Students learn best by
addressing “big” questions about human existence and their roles in the world.
![Page 13: What is the theory of multiple intelligences? Alison Bencivenga Benold Middle School Georgetown, TX.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032107/56649ef25503460f94c04b51/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What does this mean for educators?
Many American educators now
embrace Gardner’s theory and vary lessons to
address a wider range of learning
styles.
![Page 14: What is the theory of multiple intelligences? Alison Bencivenga Benold Middle School Georgetown, TX.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032107/56649ef25503460f94c04b51/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What might this look like in the classroom?
![Page 15: What is the theory of multiple intelligences? Alison Bencivenga Benold Middle School Georgetown, TX.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032107/56649ef25503460f94c04b51/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
One example: Create groups to complete a task. Assign an historical figure to each group.
Step One: Research Compile information and pull together the most important facts.
![Page 16: What is the theory of multiple intelligences? Alison Bencivenga Benold Middle School Georgetown, TX.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032107/56649ef25503460f94c04b51/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Step Two: create a poster to represent important concepts in visual form.
![Page 17: What is the theory of multiple intelligences? Alison Bencivenga Benold Middle School Georgetown, TX.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032107/56649ef25503460f94c04b51/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Step Three: Compose/Rehearse
Students with strong musical intelligence might create or find a short song or jingle to perform for the rest of the class.
![Page 18: What is the theory of multiple intelligences? Alison Bencivenga Benold Middle School Georgetown, TX.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032107/56649ef25503460f94c04b51/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Step Four: Present
A student with strong verbal-linguistic skills presents the group’s work to the rest of the class.
![Page 19: What is the theory of multiple intelligences? Alison Bencivenga Benold Middle School Georgetown, TX.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032107/56649ef25503460f94c04b51/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
A sample project (from History Alive!)
![Page 20: What is the theory of multiple intelligences? Alison Bencivenga Benold Middle School Georgetown, TX.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032107/56649ef25503460f94c04b51/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What does this mean for students?
![Page 21: What is the theory of multiple intelligences? Alison Bencivenga Benold Middle School Georgetown, TX.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032107/56649ef25503460f94c04b51/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Students who can identify their strengths can adapt their studystrategies to make better use
of time and effort.
![Page 22: What is the theory of multiple intelligences? Alison Bencivenga Benold Middle School Georgetown, TX.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032107/56649ef25503460f94c04b51/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Examples of effective study strategies using
multiple intelligences:
Interpersonal: study groups
Visual/spatial: flash cards, graphic organizers
Verbal/linguistic: oral repetition
Bodily/kinesthetic: transcribing notes by hand, drawing, “act-it-outs”
Musical/rhythmic: creating songs/jingles/rhymes
