Make the right choices for the diverse learners in your classroom by differentiating instruction for learning styles, thinking styles, and multiple intelligences!

This important new bridge between essential theory and classroom practice provides educators with an instructional repertoire that responds creatively to learners' differences. A synthesis of key research combined with more than 100 instructional and analytic tools and templates makes this an ideal resource for teachers and instructional leaders.

Carefully planned chapters cover:

  • Core principles of brain-compatible learning
  • Core theories from Jung, Gregorc, Kolb, McCarthy, Lowry and others about learning styles
  • Core theories from Costa, Gardner, Sternberg, Goleman, and others about intelligence
  • Core taxonomies from Bloom, Quellmalz, Krathwohl, Williams, Eberle, and others about thinking and creativity
  • Step-by-step planning tools to help you select what works for your own teaching style from among the key principles of all these core theories

Index

"All teachers need to be aware of their own learning style and how it affects the way they deliver instruction to students. This book will help a teacher discover this in many ways. There is complete coverage of the research, the tables and charts are great, and the chapter on teaching thinking is wonderful—I particularly enjoyed it. The chart showing how a student is thinking while coming up with a response is great. I’ll watch their faces more carefully from now on!"
