Gardner's multiple intelligences.
a list of Gardner’s multiple intelligences
Howard Gardner, a distinguished fellow developed a popular approach to learning earlier this century that was built around the idea that because people learn in different ways, whatever material you’re teaching should be presented in multiple ways.
There’s various points, counterpoints, controversies, and word choices to kickstart a good conversation about this. Here’s a list of the nine intelligences (he originally developed six).
