ECE-PD 201 Multiple Intelligences in Early Childhood Education

This course aims to give early childhood educators an understanding of the theory of Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences and its practical application for an early childhood educational setting. It defines and applies Gardner’s eight intelligences: visual-spatial, linguistic-verbal, logical-mathematical, body-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. Early childhood educators explore different activities for each category and are trained to create their own lessons using this theory within the context of holistic learning.
