Dr.+Hoerr+Skype+Questions

 Skype with Dr. Thomas Hoerr, Summer 2013  Guiding Questions What are the demographics of the school population? Is this school a private or state-supported school? What institution is the school associated with?  How are the teachers trained? Are they MI specialists in MI theory?  Does/How does your MI school deal with special education requirements? Is it an inclusion school?  What were the concerns of students, parents and the community when you went to a MI school?  What are the most successful aspects of a MI school? How does NCS academic achievements compare in state testing to other schools in the state?  Are students kept mixed in the classes or separated out by their MI?  What specific methods are used in NCS professional development to model MI instruction? Have you heard about Gardner’s pedagogical and or digital intelligences, and  is NCS trying to incorporate these new ideas? Do you find your school embracing technology more because you are a MI school? At NCS do you believe that a weaker multiple intelligence can be developed to a higher level and how do the teachers and staff do this? Is it possible to see an MI classroom? Or the Library and a flow room?
