D  **  Office:  ** RH 406B ** Phone:  ** 554-3484 ** Office Hours:  ** Half hour before or after class or by appointment. ** WIKI:  ** TED8070MISum This course is designed as a graduate course focusing on the utilization of the various multiple intelligences theories by teachers to enhance children’s understanding in the various disciplines. Teacher use of multiple intelligence through the use of stations, projects, and journals that is suitable for children from the preschool through secondary school levels. The class will have the chance to explore, evaluate, and develop various methodologies that foster understanding and the use of multiple intelligence when teaching. Research and authentic assessments, as well myths and misunderstandings concerning multiple intelligence theories will also be explored. Armstrong, T. (2009). // Multiple Intelligence in the Classroom //. Third Edition. ASCD, Alexandria, Virginia. Lazear, D. (2003). // Eight Ways of Teaching: The Artistry of Teaching with Multiple // // Intelligence. // Fourth Edition. Corwin Press, Thousand Oaks, California.  A. Graduate students are expected to be in class at all times. More than two absences may result in the drop final grade to the next letter grade.  B. Each graduate student is to come to class prepared to learn with any readings/materials necessary to complete class activities. All graduate students are expected to contribute to any class activity such as discussion, to be sure that just in time learning is taking place.  C. All multiple page papers must be in Times New Roman font (not bolded) and stapled or they will not be accepted. All assignments should follow the APA style of writing, when appropriate.  D. Successful completion of assignments of individuals or groups of all class activities, such as essay quizzes, journal reviews, class lesson assignment, and MI Fair stations. All late assignments must be in the week prior to dead week to be included in the final grade.  E. All emails from the professor will come through the University email system. F. All cell phones are off or left elsewhere. // __ Journal Article Resource, Review, and Reflections __ // Each graduate student will read articles in professional journals related to (JA1) brain research, (JA2) multiple intelligence theory(ies), and the (JA3) diversity of the learner. The paper for each article should follow the described format; the ** R **esource information of the article should be listed first at the top of the page, next ** R **eview of a detailed summary of the article’s major points, and then give a ** R **eflection of what you have learned from reading the article and the value of this inforfmation. // __ MI Class Lessons __ // Graduate students will develop five different class lessons in which they will develop eight different ways in which to teach those lessons. Each lesson should provide the appropriate age, the subject, and content of the lesson. Each graduate student will present one of their lessons in an interactive fashion involving class members in groups, using eight different approaches. Students must provide copies of all five lessons and activities to the rest of the class via the MTI Wiki. See handout for further information.

Graduate students will complete a group learning activity in which they will work with one of the eight multiple intelligences. Each group is to develop an MI Station in which they will display the name of their intelligence, an explanation of the intelligence, chosen activities and assessments demonstrating the use of the intelligence at the Multiple Intelligence Fair at the end of the semester. Graduate students will individually visit each of the stations at the MI Fair assessing each group’s work. At the close of the MI Fair each group will present their station and activities to the rest of the class. See handout for further information.

 // Grades:  // Grades are based on a 12 point system with each number representing one grade level. For example: 12=A+, 11=A, 10= A-, 9=B+, all the way through O=F. Grades are based on the following percentages: Journal Articles (3) 25% Essay Quizzes (3) 25% MI Class Lesson Assignment 25% MI Fair Station 25% Any assignment turned late will have the grade lowered one-half letter grade. All late papers/assignments are due within one week of the due date. No papers will be accepted after that time. Excessive absences will result in the final grade being lowered by one half letter grade.
