Howard Gardner: Multiple Intelligences Theory

What is Multiple Intellignce?
 The theory of multiple intelligences is Howard
Gardner's theory that proposes that people are not
born with all of the intelligence they will ever have.
 It says that Everyone is intelligent in at least nine
different ways and can develop each aspect of
intelligence to an average level of competency.
 Intelligence , as defined by Gardner, is the ability to
solve problems that are valuable in one or more
cultural settings.

What is this theory?
 Breaks down in different "intelligences" to categorize
talents and skills.
 Gardner: “ The kinds of intelligence would allow
different ways to teach, rather than one."
