Howard Gardner
Howard Gardner
One of the greatest contributors to educational theory is Howard Gardner. An educational psychologist, Garnder is one of the most prolific researchers in his time and has been credited for the theory of multiple intelligences. I remember reading about him in college and found myself analyzing the type of learner everyone in my family was. (By the way, if you have never met me - I am somewhere between a visual learner and a kinesthetic learner. It is really hard to get my attention if my eyes are not focused on the subject). Read up on some of his ideologies using the link found above.

Teachers - How Do They Do It?
The Multi-Tasking Teacher
Sometimes in planning a class, teachers must understand the needs of the classroom. It is important that teachers carefully plan a lesson and then present the information to the student in varied ways. In order to accomplish this, teachers are urged to create and implement a number of formative and summative assessments to assist in this goal.

Differentiation in Elementary?
Differentiation in Elementary?
In a traditional classroom, students enter with a certain set of learning dispositions. Some students are auditory learners - meaning that they absorb information best when it is "told" to them. Other students prefer to have information processed visually. These learners are left needing visual stimulation in order to assist in their learning. Students who are visual may need a handout or a visual representation of what they are learning to help them understand the material. Kinesthetic learners must touch - feel - see - hear the information in order to best learn the material. Regardless of what type of learner a teacher has in the classroom, it is best for the teacher to present the information in a differentiated format to ensure that their needs are being met.
