The document discusses strategies to promote creative thinking across different subject areas. It provides examples of questions teachers can ask students to encourage imagination, generating ideas, experimenting, being original, expanding on ideas, and exercising judgment. Some key strategies mentioned are using imagination, generating more ideas, experimenting with alternatives, being original, and expanding on what is known. The document emphasizes that creativity must be valued and explicitly taught in all lessons.

The learning styles revelation - research from cognitive scienceJolly Holden
As the learning style debate continues, recent research casts doubt of their efficacy in predicting learning outcomes. This presentation presents the evidence based upon research, as well as introducing the cognitive information procession model and its implications for designing multimedia instruction.
Here are the three types of learners. Which of them are you? Find out using this handy guide and learn how to learn better.

TITLE:
Psychological Type, Learning Styles and Teaching Strategies: Student and Faculty Implications in an Online Environment
SESSION DESCRIPTION:
This session will investigate how students with different psychological preferences adapt to the online learning environment and how teachers may adapt teaching styles to accommodate these different learning styles. The session begins with an overview of the adaptation of Carl Jung’s work into the Myers Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®). Next, there will be a synopsis of some of the research on the interrelationship of personality preferences and learning styles. Finally, participants will consider strategies that CDL instructors may employ in our online learning environment to enhance the learning of our students.
Are they Buzz words? A cliche? Another Fad? Or are we in the middle of an educational revolution?
We are a decade into this ”21st century” that seems to be part of labels for everything in education these days. What does it mean to be literate in 2010? What will being educated mean for the class of 2023?
Let’s look at some of these terms, their implication for our schools, and examples of educators who have embraced “new forms” of teaching and learning.
Learn how you can look past the semantics and work towards preparing your teachers and students for the future, not the past.

Multiple Intelligence theory by Howard Gardner
Multiple Intelligences - differentiates intelligence into specific 'modalities', rather than seeing intelligence as dominated by a single general ability.
This presentation is a one hour lesson highlighting the need for multiple resources and methods of supporting learners. Activity includes taking nidividual MI profiles (graphed) and laying each over top of the next to identify strength of working in groups.

The Art and Science of Leadership
1. Teaching strategies to support creative thinking across the curriculum
Any lesson can develop creative thinking if it involves pupils generating and extending ideas,
suggesting hypotheses, applying imagination and finding new or innovative outcomes. Try to include
opportunities for creativity in the lessons you teach. Look for evidence of pupils’:
using imagination
generating questions, ideas and outcomes
experimenting with alternatives
being original
expanding on what they know or say
exercising their judgement
The following are some strategies can be applied to a wide range of curriculum areas:
Use imagination
Think of new ideas, speculate on what might be possible and apply imagination to improve outcomes.
Question cues:
What might happen if … (if not)?
Can you imagine…
Suggest an improvement on …
Generate more ideas
Generate many responses, encourage thinking of alternatives and the asking of questions.
Question cues:
How many kinds of … can you think of?
List all … that could be used for …?
What questions could you could ask?
Experiment with alternatives
Be willing to change one’s initial ideas, see things another way, experiment with alternative
approaches.
Question cues:
How else might you …?
Think of five ways of/questions to ask about/reasons for ….
List ten things you could do with … (a shape, picture, object, photo, story etc.)
Be original
Think of novel ideas, unique solutions, and design original plans
Question cues:
2. Design a game for …
Invent a way to …
Think of a way to improve … (an object, game, story, plan etc.)
Expand on what you do and know
Elaborate on what you know, build on a given situation, make it more interesting.
Question cues:
What might we add … (eg to a word, phrase, sentence, story, picture, design)
What might we change … (eg to make it different, more interesting)
What is another way to … (eg solve problem, investigate a mystery)
Exercise your judgement
Assess what we have thought/done, evaluate the process and judge the outcome.
Question cues:
What criteria should we use to judge whether …?
What is good/could be improved/is interesting about ….
What could/should you/we do next …?
Creativity cannot be left to chance, it must be valued, encouraged and expected - and seen as
essential to all teaching and learning. So get creative – and enjoy it!
Types of Learners:
VISUAL LEARNERS
Visual learners learn primarily through the written word.
They tend to be readers who diligently take down every word.
AUDITORYÊLEARNERS
Auditory learners learn primarily through listening.
They focus their ears and attention on your words, listening carefully to everything you
say.
They like to talk rather than write and relish the opportunity to discuss what they've
heard.
KINESTHETICÊLEARNERS
Kinesthetic learners learn better by doing.
This group learns best when they can practice what theyÕre learning.
They want to have their hands on the keyboard, the hammer, or the test tube because
they think in terms of physical action
3. Two ways of defining your mental identity are how you take in information (your learning style) and what
you do with the knowledge you’ve acquired (your type of intelligence).

Applying Information: Types of Intelligence
Howard Gardner, an American developmental psychologist and Harvard University professor, originally
conceptualized his theory on multiple intelligences as a way to merge art with psychology, not as a means
of determining learning styles in an educational setting, which is how this theory is frequently used today.
His book Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences, explains that there is not just one type of
intelligence, but many. He defines intelligence as ―…the human ability to solve problems or to make
something that is valued in one or more cultures.‖
Gardner initially identified seven different kinds of intelligence, but has since identified two others for a
