Coaching Seminar on the Eight Kinds of Smart [Handouts].pptxThomas Armstrong
These are handouts for a seminar conducted through Animas Centre for Coaching in the U.K. delivered on April 4, 2024. In the presentation, I talk about the eight intelligences in Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, explaining how to assess them in oneself and others, how Gardner came up with these particular intelligences, and how MI theory can be applied to coaching practices such as career advice, learning strategies, and problem-solving styles. Finally I share something about the six books I've written on the topic, including 7 Kinds of Smart, Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom, and In Their Own Way.
These are the handouts to a keynote presentation I did for the 29th Annual MicroSociety Conference on July 12, 2022, a virtual conference. It focuses on the importance of seeing each child and teen as a genius. Every child comes into life with natural curiosity, creativity, imagination, inventiveness, and playfulness. Educators need to learn how to not interfere with this incredible birthright by listening to kids, asking them what they need, providing them with stimulating learning environments that allow them to come up with new ideas and discoveries, and opening up to a re-discovery of the natural genius in ourselves as educators.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

7. Advice to Give Parents
• Start by Identifying Strengths
• Encourage ALL Your Child’s Intelligences
• Be Sparing with Technology
• Choose a Developmental Preschool
• See the Gifts in Children with Special Needs
• Provide Simple Experiential Learning Activities
• Supply Proper Nutrition to Nourish the Brain
8. Learning
is a broad, holistic experience that begins early in the life course
During the first 3 years, the early foundations of learning –
including language & visual development, reasoning, memory and
problem solving – are established
Optimal growth and development early in the life course can serve
to prepare children for lifelong learning and later accomplishments
in school and beyond.
“Good health and nutrition are needed to achieve one’s full
educational potential because nutrition affects intellectual
development and learning ability”
- World Health Organization (WHO) Information Series on School Health
9. Nutrition Can Impact
Early Brain Development & Learning
• Early childhood is a critical period for cognitive,
social and emotional growth.
10. Key Contributors to Learning
• Key contributors to learning impacted by nutrition include:
Perception Cognition Physical Vitality
• Described as perception through
sensory development
• A child employs all 5 senses to
form their perception of the world
around them
• Described as the ability to think
and encompasses such intellectual
processes as:
̶ Reasoning
̶ Recognition
̶ Problem-solving
• Continuous experiences support
cognitive development by
improving neuronal connections
and memory efficiency2,3
̶ These experiences also facilitate
infants to handle more
complicated tasks, promote
cognitive development, and
ultimately help to learn4
• Described as the ability to actively
engage in one’s environment and in
opportunities to learn
• Supported by growth, digestive
health, and immunity
̶ Optimal growth & motor
development allows child to
interact with the world
̶ Proper digestion and absorption
ensures bio-availability of
essential nutrients
̶ Healthy immune system
enables greater opportunity to
learn
