Abstract

Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences is discussed in relation to teaching in the elementary classroom. The seven intelligences are defined and characterized, as they would be seen in the primary grades. Topics of discussion include multicultural education and the theory of multiple intelligences, strategies to implement multiple intelligences education in the classroom, and personal experiences with the integration of multiple intelligences in an elementary classroom. Issues of concerns with multiple intelligences education are also discussed and a resource guide for teachers is included.
