'Teaching and Learning Through Multiple Intelligences in an outstanding resource that offers an accurate reflection of Gardner's 'Theory of Multiple Intelligences'-and the knowledge to extend this theory to effective classroom practice.' Broad-based and comprehensive, this book describes implications for pedagogy, team-teaching, student strengths, curriculum, assessment, community involvement, and diverse classroom models. The authors devote one chapter to each of the eight intelligences. They define intelligence, provide a checklist for identifying it, suggest environmental considerations, and offer related teaching strategies. Additional chapters survey Gardner's recent work on teaching for understanding, performance-based assessment, and model MI school programs and student outcomes.' For classroom teachers, school psychologists, and anyone with an interest in intelligences.
