EDPC605 Curriculum Design and Instruction

Multiple intelligence means that there are many different ways for a person to be smart. People have all different intelligence's. Gardner says that these are the following areas in which a person can be intelliegent: linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. Teachers use intelligence's as pathways to teach content. Specifically in a classroom that has different ages, it is crucial for the teachers to teach using multiple intelligence in order for each student to learn best. When using the multiple intelligence, it gives ALL the students entry points to get involved. In the video, the teacher used M.I in teaching a lesson about the growth of a flower by bringing in props, having visual aids, and the students needed to label, dissect and then talk about it. It was a great example of reaching out to all the types of learners. A teacher must plan activities that incorporate  all the intelligence's so...

In reading, they should thoroughly understand the concepts and be able to identify the major characters and themes. When they do think and ask targeted questions, it will encourage them to continue to do so , for they will understand it better and hopefully want to cont...

After watching the 2 videos, here is my basic understanding of what Backward Design is: It is a planing framework. When teaching, the goal is to focus on long term goals and to put that into practice in short term ways in assessing and instruction to the class.

Its is not about getting perfect scores, but rather, the learning process and reaching the goals!
