Multiple Intelligence and Blooms Taxonomy

Description

Both the special education and gifted education literature call for a differentiated curriculum to cater for the wide range of student differences in any classroom.

Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences was integrated with the revised Bloom’s taxonomy by School of Educators to provide a planning tool for curriculum differentiation. Teachers’ progress in using the tool to plan and implement units of work through schools was documented and researched by our team. They reported greater confidence in their ability to broaden their curriculum and cater for different students’ strengths across the multiple intelligences and intellectually challenge their students using first the original and then the revised taxonomy.

After the workshop the teachers saw their students as more successful learners as a result of this curriculum differentiation.
