Multiple Intelligences in the Elementary Classroom: A Teacher's Toolkit

This book will help teachers design effective curricula for their students with diverse learning abilities. The authors have created a guided process to apply MI theory to the elementary school classroom. The five pathways or approaches examined: Exploration, Bridging, Understanding, Authentic Problems, and Talent Development represent the ways in which MI can be implemented and nurtured across the elementary grades. The Pathways Model promotes and supports the development of a well-grounded understanding of MI theory to inform goal-setting and planning for using multiple intelligences theory in the classroom. Each pathway addresses a different set of goals and provides appropriate guidelines and examples. ISBN-13: 978-0807746103

Making Teaching Visible: Documenting Individual and Group Learning as Professional Develop

How can careful consideration of groups at work enhance the learning of preschool, elementary, and middle school students and their teachers? Building on research conducted with educators from the Municipal Infant-toddler Centers and Preschools of Reggio Emilia, Italy, researchers from Project Zero collaborated with pre-Kindergarten to grade 8 teachers in Massachusetts to examine how ideas developed in Italian preschools could enhance preschool, elementary, and middle-school education in the United States. Making Teaching Visible includes the stories of what the teachers learned through documentation and provides a framework for considering how documentation of individual and group learning can serve as professional development. Because it also contains thoughts on how to support this type of professional development, it provides a valuable tool for making classrooms and schools more powerful learning environments.
