Presentation: The Human Pathway

Everything worthwhile has been thought of already, one must try and think of it once more

(Goethe: 19th century German philosopher & poet)

The theory of Multiple Intelligences gave birth to the Entry Point Approach. During this session participants will learn about the nine intelligences discovered by Howard Gardner and the five entry points or " windows" for effective learning.

Instinctively, teachers have recognized that every student learns differently. The key to the design of motivational classes for a Multiple Intelligences environment is to reflect upon the concept you want to teach and identify the intelligences that seem most appropriate for communicating it never forgetting we are HUMAN BEINGS.
