Diversity
Diversity is the goal of helping all students develop to their unique and
fullest potential by varying instruction, assessment, and content to both
support students in the use of their own resources and challenge them to
acquire and understand the resources of others.
Why do we value Diversity?
Different students need different styles of instruction to acquire the learning we offer.
Different students need different modes of assessment to demonstrate their learning.
Each child’s interests and talents, concerns, and fascinations are the best foundation for increasing that child’s ability and motivation to learn.
The operation of democracy requires an in-depth understanding of a variety of perspectives and contributions, as well as the ability to listen and learn from the lives and cultures of a variety of people.

Intelligence broadly defined
The ability to apply past knowledge and experiences flexibly to accomplish challenging new tasks
Important ideasCONCEPT - Something thought or
imagined; broad principle affecting perception and behavior; understanding or grasp
THEORY - Scientific principle to explain phenomena; rules and techniques
METHOD - Way of doing something, body of techniques
MODEL - Something copies; perfect example; interpretation
Defining IntelligenceAdaptive – used flexibly to respond to a variety of
situations and problemsLearning ability – People who are intelligent in a
particular domain learn new information and behaviors more quickly and easily than people who are less intelligent in those domains
Use of Prior Knowledge (PK) – Involved in analyzing and understanding situations effectively
Interaction and Coordination of many different mental processes
Culture specific – “Intelligent” behavior in one culture is not necessarily intelligent in another culture
SPLITTER OR A “g” FACTOR?
Ways we are SMART!
Theory of Multiple Intelligence
Multiple Intelligence - MIHoward Gardner – 1980s“Splitter”Eight Intelligences - Ability to:
Linguistic – use language effectivelyMusical- compose, comprehend and appreciate musicLogical-Mathematical – reason logically, especially in
math and scienceSpatial – notice details of what one sees, imagine and
manipulate visual objects in ones’ mindKinesthetic – use one’s body skillfullyNaturalistic – recognize patterns in nature and
differences among natural objects and life-formsInterpersonal – awareness of one’s won feelings,
motives, and desiresIntrapersonal – recognize patterns in nature and
differences among natural objects and life forms
Key Points MI TheoryAn intelligence is the ability to solve problems, or to create
products, that are valued within one or more cultural settings
Each person possesses all eight intelligences -- a theory of cognitive functioning and all seven function together in ways unique to each person
Most people can develop each intelligence to an
adequate level of competency --if given appropriate encouragement enrichment and instruction
Intelligences usually work together in complex ways --
intelligences are always interacting with each other and must be thought of in their specific culturally valued contexts
There are many ways to be intelligent within each category -- emphasizes the rich diversity of ways in which people show their gifts within intelligences as well as between intelligences
Development of MI
FACTORSBiological endowment, including hereditary or
genetic factors and insult or injuries to the brain before, during and after birth.
Personal life history, including experiences with
parents, teachers, peers, friends, and others who either awaken intelligences or keep them from developing
Cultural and historical background, including the time and place in which you were born and raised and the nature and state of cultural or historical developments in different domains.
MI Activators and Deactivators of Intelligences
Crystallizing experiences -- turning points in the development of a person's talents and abilities usually in early childhood -- Albert Einstein 4 years old his father showed him a magnetic compass filled him with a desire to ferret out the mysteries of the universe
Paralyzing experiences -- experiences
which shut down intelligences often filled with shame, guilt, fear, anger and other negative emotions that prevent our intelligences from growing and thriving
MI Environmental InfluencesPromote or retard the development of intelligences:
Access to resources or mentors -- lack of resources
Historical-cultural factors -- the times Geographic factors -- where you live Familial factors -- parental wishes Situational factors -- unable to develop due to
situation
How we are SMART!Learning Styles:
Dunn & Dunn Learning Style PreferencesPatterns of Coordination
DUNN AND DUNN LEARNING STYLE MODEL
No one style is preferable or better than others!
Dunn and DunnLearning Style Model
Learning style denotes the typical ways in which a person takes in and processes information, makes decisions, and forms values.
A person’s style is reflected in his or her behavior.
Learning Styles
Knowing something about the Learning Style of others helps us to understand why they
react or respond in the ways they do.
Knowing our own Learning Style helps us to understand the impact we have on
others.
Learning style impacts on teaching and learning behaviors in many ways
•Class outcomes – what you are asked to do.
•Teacher expectations – what teachers expect from you.
•Values – What types of teachers/studentsare valued.
•Demands – the kinds of adaptations teacher demands make on you.The more you are required to work
outside their natural style the more STRESS they will experience.

teacher
Analytic/Linear Characteristics
• Does one task at a time and is not easily distracted when concentrating
• Doesn’t like vague questions such as…”just suppose…”
• Prefers specific grading criteria and feedback• Prefers outlines• Develops major ideas from pieces of
information
Global/Pattern Characteristics
• Needs to understand the whole idea before going step-by-step
• Is impulsive in reaching a decision• Reads overall idea, skipping details;
understands ideas in context; reads between the lines
• Relates what is being taught to own personal experiences and enjoys hearing experiences of others

LEARNING STYLES: Patterns of Coordination
“A difference unaddressed becomes a disability.”
James Collins
FEBI ScoringTo calculate your
totals for each Pattern, add:
#2,4,8,13,18, and 24 for Driver (Thrust)
#1,5,12,16,20, and 23 for Organizer (Shape)
#3, 6, 10, 11, 19, and 21 for Collaborator (Swing)
#7, 9, 14, 15, 17, and 22 for Visionary (Hang)
< 32 LOW These are weakly expressed
patterns that are more difficult for you to access: you may not use them when they’re called for.
32-44 Moderate With moderate ease you can
access these patterns when you need to.
> 44 High These are strongly expressed
patterns that are easy for you to access and are likely connected to your natural strengths: you may have a tendency to overuse these patterns.
Principles of the Principles of the PATTERNS OF COORDINATIONPATTERNS OF COORDINATIONYour brain and body are connected through the
central nervous system and you brain seeks patterns to make meaning
Movement provides a window into understanding an individual’s mental processing
There are four primary ways of moving and thinking called Coordination Patterns: Thrust, Shape, Swing, and Hang
Each Coordination Pattern is a connection between moving and thinking which includes a quality and type of movement and quality and type of mental processing
We each have a Home Pattern and a Pattern Hierarchy Style is a combination of two Patterns – our Home
Pattern plus another PatternGoal is to recognize and use all four Patterns as tools
to create Balance PPinciotti
PATTERNS OF COORDINATION - Movement
THRUST - diagonal, zig-zag, asymmetry, sharp turns, aware of strength, directionality
SHAPE - right angles, symmetry, placed turns, sequential, arithmetic, classical
SWING - back and forth, big-little balance, meander, aware of weight,trunk/body
HANG - follow, flow, random, hang turns, aware of energy, connections
