IN ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION: how to we make sure
>students of all intelligences succeed in the
>classroom? As a teacher we should be more flexible, creative and adapative in our instructional approaches. My experience teaching gifted students left me spinning my wheels trying to always be three chapters ahead of them. They ask a lot of questions and think that or feel that they have the definiative answer. I try not to debate with the student as the teacher, but help them become the teacher and teacher me and the class. When there are multiple intelligence levels in once classroom, we have to plan to be successful with each student. This is done by making sure that our lesson plan includes an adaptation to the standard lesson plan.

I had the opportunity to attend the National Middle School Association conference earlier this year in Nashville. It was incredible--I attended three days worth of sessions where I learned a lot about how to teach effectively. One thing that really stuck with me was the importance of offering students choice in their assignments based on learning style. For example, you might have one assignment but present it in four different ways and grade it based on four different rubrics. Each option would present an assignment accomplishing the same learnng objective but would be presented in a way that targets specific learning styles. This way the student has the freedom to pick which assignment best suits the way he or she learns. Allowing this kind of differentiation and choice in school work allows students of all intelligences an opportunity to excel in school and a chance to master whatever objective is required.
