Overview: The work of Gardner, Armstrong, Goleman, Kolb, McCarthy and Dennison has demonstrated that each of us has our own holistic pattern of strengths and weaknesses in cognitive, emotional and physical intelligences. Our neurological strengths essentially guide the way we teach and communicate. It is important to know what constitutes teachers strongest as well as their weakest intelligences, and to see the roles these intelligences have in creating exciting lessons that engage the whole child and in meeting various individual students learning styles. The more teachers are willing to step out of their comfort zones by trying out new strategies the more they expand their own abilities and enrich the instructional environment for their students.
Outcome
Objectives: Participants will gain knowledge and skills in:
· Exploring simple instruments to ascertain their own neurological profile.
· Developing instructional activities to meet the needs of disabled and non-disabled students.
· Identifying ways to expand teaching techniques to include areas that are underdeveloped in their profiles.
