When we think about intelligence, we think of such minds as Albert Einstein. We often see intelligence as academics, those who are book smart and can speak with complex vocabulary. This view of intelligence is only one part of overall intelligence. Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences shows us that even though there may be an overall level of intelligence, there are actually nine different types of intelligence. A child may be more intelligent in one type over another. This theory supports developmentally appropriate practices and encourages adults to see each child's strengths individually.

Choose one intelligence from the Theory of Multiple Intelligences and share how you would support this intelligence for a child in your care or home. What would you support, offer, do, or say? What would you not support, offer, do, or say? Use resources from this course or any other resources you may have on your own and share clear examples.
