More about the MI


When you are a teacher or you are near to be a teacher (as I am), you can get lost and don’t know how to use the MI theory with your pupils. That’s why I have spent some time reading about the different resources and strategies that any teacher can use as a methodology to reach the best of each of his/her students.

The Learning/Interest Centers

The Learning or Interest Centers is a strategy to use in a classroom, consist in different stations set up within the classroom, each one has a specific focus and children choose the center they want to work with. These areas allow children to learn on their own satisfaction, so that is a hands-on learning and also this methodology also provides a very high level of autonomy for students.

Gardner has been using this method in different classes of elementary and primary grade to his researches for the Spectrum project. Through Learning Centers, children can start with the focus of each area so teachers must to organize the activities and the materials related to the different intelligences.

Two years ago I read a really useful book about the Interest Centers written by David Altimir. This teacher explains different kinds of projects that he have done with his pupils and how they learn by using the Interest Centers. So I recommend you this book:
