Teaching and Assessing Through Multiple Intelligences

In this session Dr. Debbie Silver capitalizes on her background in curriculum and instruction to demonstrate excellent teaching strategies along with appropriate assessment tools. She sees instruction and assessment as "two sides of the same coin." Debbie believes that by emphasizing student strengths rather than focusing on their weaknesses, teachers can elicit greater achievement gains and higher motivation among students. She will discuss how to give students multiple opportunities to demonstrate what they know and understand. Participants will be engaged in classroom activities designed to help students construct their own learning. Loads of illustrations and ideas!
