Multiple Intelligences

Gardner's (1983) theory of multiple intelligences states that people have a tendency and preference to learn in different ways and that everyone is intelligence in different ways. This is crucial for teachers to understand because it highlights the needs for differentiated learning and because it is essential that we recognize that all students can be intelligence, even if they struggle academically. The following image represents eight intelligences included in Garnder's theory, which are as follows: verbal/linguistic, logical/mathematical, naturalist, bodily/kinesthetic, musical/rhythmic, inter-personal/social, intra-personal/introspective, visual/spatial.
