While those theories have been ground-breaking, none have been as influential as Erik Erikson’s theory on the stages…

the existence of eight relatively autonomous, but interdependent, intelligences rather than just one single construct of intelligence.

Accordingly, he classified human intelligence into linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical,…

increasing and becoming more readily at hand, effective use of this equipment will be needed. Not just to display text, but to use the equipment’s full range of capabilities and potential through videos, interactive learning & slideshows, music and multiple visual components. All of which can be done with new smartboards and interactive white boards which are becoming more commonplace in the modern day classroom. Tablets and laptops are rapidly becoming a useful piece of teaching technology and…

When a lesson includes movement with the music, this gets the students moving and practicing their coordination. Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences can be related to physical development. Students are working on their bodily-kinesthetic intelligence. As well as working on the bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, children are also developing their developmental midline. In other words, there is an imaginary line in the middle of their body and they are learning how…

One theorist who divides the individual’s intelligence into different parts is psychologist Howard Gardner. Howard Gardner states that this is actually eight different intelligences that are independent of each other. The eight intelligences he lists are…

the success you have in graduate school. According to Howard Gardner a developmental psychologist, there is an assessment one can partake in to specify how best you learn (as cited by Carter, Bishop, & Kravitis, 2011). The assessment is called the Multiple Pathways; it has eight different learning categories.1) Verbal-Linguistics learners are talented with words by writing, reading, and learning languages.2) Logical-Mathematical learners have the ability to reason and think logically. 3)…

The unit that will be transformed is a unit is The Building Blocks of Algebra (eMath Instructional Inc., 2016). This unit is in need of a transformation because of the lack of differentiation. Although there is plenty of scaffolding of the new content (Van de Walle, Karp, & Bay-Williams, 2013, p. 23), the approach does not vary very much in its representation (Van de Walle et al., 2013, p. 22-24). The majority of the unit structure is to be straightforward with the content and not deviate from…
