Description - Multiple Intelligences and Portfolios: A Window into the Learner’s Mind by Evangeline, Harris Stefanakis
Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences suggests that culture, language, and environment all influence how an individual's intelligence is expressed. In this guide, Evangeline Stefanakis provides concrete suggestions for translating Gardner's theory into curriculum and assessment practices in the context of urban classrooms. By combining the collection and analysis of student work in comprehensive portfolios, she offers a framework for teachers to improve the assessment of diverse individuals.
In eight concise chapters, Stefanakis takes teachers through proven strategies for creating personal student profiles and portfolios as "windows into learners' minds." Her book provides:
- a positive focus on children's assets—what they do know, rather than what they don't
- a guide on applying the theory of multiple intelligences to personalize learning
- short, practical, classroom-based content on implementing portfolios (Grades K-8)
- proven ways for teachers to expand their practices for reaching an even wider, more diverse, and challenging range of learners by differentiating instruction
- a companion dual-platform CD-ROM featuring a range of student portfolios and reproducible assessment forms.
