My personal experience of a good Teacher is ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“The Best Teacher Ever”Slide6
“The Best Teacher Ever” What was so “special” about this Teacher?Slide7
Tweaking the Teaching
We are not looking for a radical overhaul – just a few tweaks and a bit of polish. In order to do this we need to:Be specific and accurately identify which aspects of our performance needs tweekingIdentify strategies that will enable us to do the tweekingSlide8
Where are you now?
Pause and reflect on the quality of lessons you currently teach. What marks out of ten would you award yourself for the quality of teachingWhatever mark you gave yourself you will remain there unless you do something differentThe key question is how are you going to improve it? If you scored 4/10 how will you make it 5/10, or how will you make 8/10 into 9/10Slide9

Improve Learning
Build in rewardUse relaxation or energising techniquesHigh expectationsUse positive, affirming languagePre- processGive the big picture firstChunk it downConnect left and right for the whole brain learningUtilise all the intelligencesProvide work at individual, pair and group Slide15
Improve learning
Use visual displaysProvide multi-path learning opportunitiesUse spiral learningProvide opportunities to demonstrate new knowledgeBuild in reviewMemory maps for note takingMusic in the backgroundTeach time and priority skillsUse creative visualisationBuild in fun! Slide16
Understanding
Asking questions is fundamental to developing understandingAsking questions without fear or embarrassement is crucial to protecting self-esteemSlide17
Multiple Intelligences
Howard Gardiner, PsychologistDissatisfied with narrow range of ability that I.Q. tests measureFascinated with how the brain worksStudied different cultures,brain damaged adults and autistic childrenWanted to devise a broader concept of intelligenceAt least 8 systems for learning and for coming to awarenessSlide18

Multiple Intelligences

Dr Howard Gardiner identified eight main categories of human intelligence:
Some people excel in one of these areas at the expense of the others, while others have a more balanced profile
Bodily-kinaesthetic
Intrapersonal
Interpersonal
NaturalistSlide20
Linguistic / Verbal
Sensitivity to sounds, rhythms and meanings of wordsAssociated with arguing, debating, persuading and telling storiesLike to read, write and listenEnjoy writing storiesOften spell words accurately and easily

You may be interested in knowing what engineers discovered in a wind tunnel about why geese fly in a “V” formation. As each bird flaps its wings, it creates lift for the goose immediately following. By flying in a “V” formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% greater range than if each bird flew on its own. Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone, and moves back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front. When the lead goose gets tired, it rotates back in the wind and another goose flies point. The geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep their speed. Finally, when a goose gets sick, or is wounded by gun shots and falls out of formation, two geese fall out with him and follow him down to help protect them. They stay with him until he is either able to fly, or until he is dead. Then they launch out on their own or with another formation to catch up with the groupSlide34
Multiple Intelligences
Try this Multiple Intelligences Self Test to see what your profile is. Treat it as fun and concentrate on what you seem best at afterwards. Note; These scores are not fixed forever…… EnjoySlide35
When we tap into our strongest intelligences……
We hit a pool of energyOur attention is caughtOur interest is arousedOur understanding is enhancedOur memory is improvedSlide36
“Multiple Intelligences does not demand an overhaul of a Curriculum; it merely provides a framework for enhancing instruction and a language to describe ones efforts”Slide37
With regard to discipline
Weak in a particular intelligence eg Linguistic Talking is the least effective approach to convey the seriousness of a discipline issueSlide38
An appreciation of my own intelligences and an awareness of the students Multiple Intelligences.
A perspective on possibilities for Enhancing Teaching. Confidence to stay out of my comfort zone for longer periods!Slide39
A Journey of a Thousand Miles starts with the First Step!

We rarely use a single intelligence on its own…………………
We will invite you to do just that, so you can check out how you feel and what you think about that intelligence…………Slide41
Work Shop
A very practical and fun approach to Multiple Intelligences! Each person must attempt 8 tasks representing the different Intelligences.Enjoy!Slide42
Multiple Intelligences
Does the theory make sense in the light of your experience?How does it affect your view of the students?Does it affirm your current work?Does it offer good Resources For Teaching? Does it show useful ways of engaging students in their learning?Slide43

A key to meeting the needs of the many different types of learner is variety.
But variety does not happen by chance – it has to be planned for.
