Question: In your sixth-grade English classroom, you are a big believer in using a variety of teaching techniques in your lessons. You have successfully utilized Gardner's Eight Intelligences and learning styles to appeal to your diverse learners. You have been able to provide many varied opportunities for students to show mastery of subjects.

Despite the success of most of your students, you have a parent of a borderline failing student who is questioning your methods. Because they are unfamiliar with this "new age philosophy," they want an explanation of your teaching style.

Two paragraphs on how you will describe the idea of multiple intelligences and learning styles to this parent. What does the research say about these teaching strategies? How will you help this student to see more success and put the parent's mind at ease? Be sure to include information from this chapter to justify your choices.
