Intelligence in Seven Steps
Dr. Howard Gardner is the genius who brought the idea of multiple intelligences to the forefront of education. This theory suggests that the accepted belief that intelligence is something that can be assessed with an I.Q test is incredibly limited. Instead, he proposes eight different intelligences. This knowledge allows educators to teach the unique individual according to his/her learning style. It also empowers the learner to take advantage of those strengths he/she possesses to reach success.
