Blog 13: Senior Project 2-Hour House Meeting #1

Answer: The first answer to my EQ is adopting a the Multiple Intelligences Theory.

Evidence: The more I talked to Ms. Watschke, kindergarten teacher in Kellogg Elementary, she kept repeating how teaching styles and techniques were important in the classroom. So I did more research and found the Multiple Intelligences Theory by Howard Gardner which said there are 8 different types of learners. Depending on the person you were weaker or stronger in the 8 different intelligences.
As well the book Educational Psychology by Robert E Slavin gave some evidence that teacher must adapt their way of teaching according to their students.

Resources: Articles on Multiple Intelligences Theory, and the book Educational Psychology by Robert E. Slavin.
