This book will help teachers design effective curriculum for their students with diverse learning abilities. The authors have created a guided process to apply MI theory to the elementary school classroom. The five "pathways" or approaches examined--Exploration, Bridging, Understanding, Authentic Problems, and Talent Development--represent the ways in which MI can be implemented and nurtured across the elementary grades. The Pathways Model promotes and supports the development of a well-grounded understanding of MI theory to inform goal-setting and planning for using multiple intelligences theory in the classroom. Each pathway addresses a different set of goals and provides appropriate guidelines and examples.

This comprehensive guidebook:

• Shows teachers how to get started by choosing an appropriate pathway based on their specific goals.
• Illustrates how to use each of these models for teaching and learning with "Snapshots" from actual classrooms.
• Provides a "Putting the Pathway into Action" section that includes organizers to help teachers design lesson plans for each pathway.
• Includes "Thought Questions" for group reflections and "Implementation Activities" for experimenting with ideas in the classroom.
• Supplies suggested resources, reproducible reference sheets, and the supporting materials needed to implement the activities presented in the book.
