This book provides a collection of practical secondary level and college classroom applications of the Theory of Multiple Intelligences to free students' learning potential and enhance creative expression. The core theme of this book is to help teachers to develop and use a practical five-step approach to engage students' strengths for deeper understanding in vibrant classroom communities. Knowledge in these interactive roundtables adds value to understanding, through inquiry, self-reflection, collaborative learning, problem-solving, and integration of skills and ideas. To further extend MITA's roundtable practices, the final chapters focus on curriculum and assessment tools that build on teachers' own best practices, for higher achievement and motivation.
