A phrase coined by Professor Howard Gardner of Harvard University, ‘multiple intelligence’ is a model we have been working with since 1995 and include in our train the trainer workshop along with other accelerated learning techniques. There are currently eight defined intelligences and we are starting a brand new series here to help you better understand the traits of each, in the hope it helps you incorporate exercises into your training materials that cater for each intelligence. We are starting with:

Typical statements:

“I enjoy doing crosswords and word search puzzles”
“I find it easy to talk about and describe events or things”
“I like to bring to life my children’s bed time stories when I read to them”
“I love a good debate”
“I’m good at Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit”
“I don’t have to bother writing out a shopping list, I can just remember it”

In your training delivery incorporate such exercises as:

Telling stories
Reading stories
Writing stories
Debate
Discuss
Do puzzles, word games
Produce brochures, magazines, or posters
Integrate writing and reading with other subject areas
Interview
Use vocabulary
Play memory games with names, places
