Multiple Intelligences theory describes eight different types of intelligence: linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. Traditionally, schools have focused on linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligences, but MI theory proposes that all eight types of intelligence are equally important. Teachers who understand MI can present lessons in a variety of ways to engage students with different strengths, such as drawing pictures, showing videos, hands-on activities, and group work. The goal is to recognize each student's unique intelligence profile and help them learn in a way that works best.

3. WHAT IS MI ??WHAT IS MI ??
• Multiple Intelligences (MI) developed
by American development
psychologist, Howard Gardner, in 1983,
MI describes eight different ways to be
smart.
4. • Most people are strong in at least one of
the intelligence areas.
• Historically the traditional “intelligences”
(linguistic & logical mathematical) were
privileged but Gardner proposes that all 8
of his intelligences are of equal utility.
• Teachers have embraced this theory
because it is easy to apply to teaching
and learning.
• This theory also provides for alternative
forms of assessment. Instead of answering
the question “How smart are you?”
assessment becomes “How are you
smart?”
• All intelligences can be taught & nurtured.
