As an Instructor it is of high importance to continue growing intellectually and challenge ourselves to change with the way of the world. There are many ways to develop our intelligence academically, culturally, and artistically. It is important to incorporate all different methods of learning for all students.
Authentic learning is something that I think we, as educators, strive for and I find that sometimes it is easier said than done.
using different ways to teach students allowing them to learn in the best environment that suits them.
we are all intelligent. We need to have find the best intelligence
In special education classes as a teacher, you need to account for very integrated and varied types of intelligence. Some students may be extremely academically gifted, but need support in social/emotional intelligence.
Integrated intelligence includes multiple methods of learning. Multiple methods of learning allow students with different learning styles to acquire new information in a way they can comprehend.
Intelligence is fluid and can be learned and improved upon. And as an educator, keeping my own intelligences skills honed, is the best way to motivate students and collaborate with them so they can learn as much as they want!
It is important to have a positive learning environment. There are so many things going on in the lives of students that can be distractions from learning. A posititive environment fosters creativity and ideas.
Intelligence is ongoing and can be developed. Having mastered multiple levels of intelligence models, makes the instructor the best possible for the students to learn.
Intelligence can be developed and ongoing.
Teachers must create opportunities for students to develop their senses, get to know themselves, and come up with answers/solutions.
Intellegence is fluid. Not fixed
We learn from many different aspects, not a linear path. This helps us attain new knowledge & how to use it. Traits that were learned & will be used / reinforced upon are: Learn from mistakes, re-evaluate you views, recover from failures, make your own luck, push for what you believe in, actions are louder than words.. This is an ongoing process that never stops.
As well, we need to plan for teaching to multiple intelligences. Each student has their own mix. We can consider competency, holistic, & inclusive based learning, to build on this.
Fluidity is the best part of intelligence, it is & will always be developed. Elements that I learned & will continue to consider are: seek novelty, challenge ones self, think creatively, work out emotionally, & network. I will continue to do this.
Being authentic in teaching will result in authentic learning. Traits that were learned & that I have or will grow in are. Realistic perceptions of reality, accepting of others, & ones self, thoughtful, non hostile sense of humor, express emotions freely & clearly, learn form mistakes, understand my motivations. On the learning side of this the characteristics to use & reinforce are… Real world problems, open ended enquiry, students engaging in group learning, Reinforce their learning in project groups.
In summary to this, Authentic learning must be not self directed, but directed to others, while using real life / real world context, so it can be applied more fluidly. I will be reinforcing this.
Fluid learning is the idea of always lerning and never becoming static in your growth abilities.
All of these models, or approaches, focus on student choice, collaboration, heightened interaction, and active learning options rather than passive, singular, or linear learning models. The more choice students are given, and the wider the scope of activities and engagement, the more likely it is that students will draw from the various intelligences they have and also develop them more effectively.
Authentic learning refers to “real-life” or “real-world” activities, problems, or projects within which students can interact with others and formulate their own opinions through engagement. So, rather than learning within a preset or unreal context, students have a chance to learn in order to use and apply.
A teacher that has a mastery of multiple intelligence levels will be best positioned to provide a solid learning environment for students.
As a teacher is is essentail create an envirment to improve the intellelignece
We must create a positive learning environment for students so that they can perform to the best of their abilities.
