Application for the Future: Multiple Intelligences 

# data[].attributes.body
The theory of multiple intelligences chooses to focus on eight different intelligences in children and adults. The intelligences are linguistics, logical-mathematics, spacial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist in children and adults. Instead of highly regarding individuals who are gifted in logical-mathematics and linguistics, this theory values the gifts of individuals in other areas.

# data[].attributes.body
Because multiple intelligences suggests that teachers be able to present their lessons in a variety of ways, I believe as an elementary teacher, that will not be difficult. For instance, if I am teaching a lesson on the solar system and how Earth and the different planets orbit the moon and sun, and the different types of stars and the big dipper, I can have students apply their learning in several ways. I can have students go home every night and tell me what kind of moon was in the sky that evening, I can have them complete a solar system project or book report, and for students who are tangible learners, I can take them on a field trip to our local museum, which also has a planetarium. By incorporating different styles of learning and application, I can ensure that I am teaching at every possible angle for my students.

This is a great article from New City Schools on the eight different multiple intelligences and how it is applied in the classroom.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The theory of multiple intelligences (MI), conceived by Harvard University Professor Howard Gardner, has been used as a tool for teaching and learning at New City School since 1988. This unique academic learning approach develops a student's inherent strengths and creates a deep level of understanding that allows children to use what they've learned in new and different situations.

Gardener believes there are eight intelligences to be nurtured and developed in all children: bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, naturalist, and spatial. These eight intelligences reflect different ways of thinking, solving problems, and learning: all activities that are intimately connected to the developing human brain. By connecting our knowledge of brain development to MI, our excellent faculty work every day to design challenging curricular opportunities for learning and growth, opportunities that also nurture and develop the MI strengths that all children possess.

Application for the Future: Progressivism

Application for the Future: Progressivism 

# data[].attributes.body
Progressivism is an ideology that focuses on how students will apply their learning outside of the classroom by primarily using the scientific method. Rather than focusing on subject-matter content, this theory believes students should be taught real-world content that is relatable to their everyday experiences. Key features of the progressive curriculum include, student centered, peer focused, growing, action centered, process and change centered, equality, and community centered. In order for these key features to work, students will go beyond the walls of the classroom by spending time learning from their community and cultural surroundings.

# data[].attributes.body
A specific example of how I can apply this in my own classroom is by challenging students to work on their problem-solving skills. I will have them figure out how to resolve their own problems by asking thought provoking questions. Questions such as, what are you going to do different this time? What can you learn from this minor setback? I will also have students evaluate their own progress to see if they feel like they have mastered the concept or if they feel like they need improvement.

# data[].attributes.body
The Children’s School, located in Illinois is a progressive only school. This particular section shows what they are doing outside of the classroom to engage students in real-world experiences. They also do not give out grades or standardized testing.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
​

When comparing schools, many focus on scores and numbers.
Here are some numbers from The Children's School:

2004/216

Year Our School Opened / Faculty Years of Experience

123

Engaged Student Learners

15

The Limit on
Students per Class

0

Letter Grades or
Standardized Tests

That's right. Zero grades and zero standardized tests. We work with each child individually, gauging their progress by carefully evaluating the quality of their work. We watch the improvement in their reading, writing and math skills from project to project;  their behavior and experience in the classroom and their enthusiasm for learning. Whenever we see a chance to do more to help a child learn, we take action: We change things up - work with them one on one - increase the challenge or reduce it for a time.

Since every child's learning style and potential is unique,
we focus on numbers that really matter:

80

Combined number of all class field trips taken by
The Children's School in
2017-18

153

Number of trout minnows in our
6th grade Great Lakes biosystem project

6

Number of pottery wheels
in our Art Studio

662

Estimated number of worms in our Kindergarten vermiculture bin

$2850

Amount raised by our 4th and 5th Graders for Westside Health Authority in a student-managed "Hootenanny" event to help other kids in our communities be able to see a doctor when they're sick

12

Number of original songs scored, written and performed by our middle schoolers at the Madison Street Theater in their musical play "Steamworks"

3067

Number of natural wooden blocks in our block room, in 23 assorted shapes

65

Number of sack lunches packed in our kitchen once a month by our students to serve a nearby homeless shelter program

15

Number of coral species crocheted by third graders during their project on
coral reefs ecosystems

9

Number of allergy screened classroom pets voted on and cared for by the students

55

Specific learning goals in our social justice curriculum for elementary students

28

Number of outside mentors and experts brought in this year to meet with specific students regarding their interests, or answer questions on projects

As you can see, at The Children's School we have lots of fantastic numbers.
And yet, the best reason to choose our school is this:
We'll never treat your child like one.

We believe education isn't a "paint by number" proposition. Sitting in a desk all day and memorizing facts may suit a small number of children. We've found that most children are more engaged when they play an active role in choosing what they want to learn.  We give them a supervised group framework, a broad range of resources, experiences and projects, all based on their individual and group interests.

The time we save by eliminating standardized tests, leaves time for counting our students' tangible
achievements, and counting new ways we can enrich their learning experience.

Application for the Future: Autobiographical Narratives

Application for the Future: Autobiographical Narratives

# data[].attributes.body
An autobiographical narrative is a tool that helps identify a students’ sociocultural, academic, linguistic, and cognitive background. These narratives are one way to help teachers identify what instructional tools are needed to help their specific student population. These narratives should be age appropriate with parameters set on the type of information needed.

# data[].attributes.body
Being that I am on the elementary track, my autobiographical narrative will be very simple and easy to read. To provide an example to my students, my narrative would be an easy read. An example would look something like this: I was born in Columbia, SC. I have a large family who I love very much. I have a husband and one daughter. I speak English. I went to the University of South Carolina – Upstate. I learn better when I can see things.

I have heard a lot about the Teachers Pay Teachers resources and this looks like a great one to use for the Autobiographical Narrative.  I also, really liked this concept and how it helps us get to know the students on another level outside the classroom.  I think it will be a great tool to use in our classrooms to help us understand our students as well as the students knowing more about each other.  I like that you would give them extra resources to develop their narratives as well as give them the example of of your own.  Thanks for your great thoughts.
