Gardner is responsible for the theory of Multiple Intelligences.
Understanding Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences is a very important part of becoming an effective teacher. As teachers we need to consider these when planning lessons.
The Zibda: People have different intelligences which helps explains why some people can be a great dancer (Musical, Kinaesthetic) and not be very good at reading (linguistic). For teachers, this is a very important theory so we need to account for the different types of intelligences we plan our lessons.
