Armed with a set of criteria drawn from different disciplines, I identified seven separate intelligences. All human beings possess these seven intelligences, but we differ from one another in which are strong; and in any case, strength or weakness in one (say spatial intelligence) does not predict strength or weakness in another (say, interpersonal or musical intelligence).
I would now add a few more intelligences to the list, and others, most famously Daniel Goleman, have proposed yet other intelligences like emotional intelligence. I am no longer invested in my particular set of intelligences. For me, the important advance is that a multiplicity of intelligences has been acknowledged—wits, rather than wit.
In this era of succinct messaging, I’ve created a twitter-short formula: Multiple Wits and Good Grits Lead to a Success Beyond Selfies.

When you want to improve your physical health, you don’t have to eat one specific type of food or exercise in a specific way. Rather, you need an appropriate mix of healthy foods and exercise -- no one thing is required. Different types of exercise and foods are in some sense interchangeable. What matters is that you get the appropriate dose. Could this common idea from health translate into the world of education?
Students need different kinds of stimulation, and they should seek opportunities they’re interested in because no one thing is going to be the winning formula for everyone.
GM: this fits perfectly into the "Multiple Intelligence" from Howard GARDNER ;)

It is important to stress that the Multiple Intelligence theory here discussed should not be confused with theories on different types of personality or different learning styles.
The theory of Multiple Intelligences was originally proposed by Howard Gardner some 30 years ago and is gaining increasing recognition and impact. In particular, the theory has deep implications on how to structure teaching, education and assessment, independently on whether we are talking about traditional schools, MOOC or corporate eLearning.

La théorie des intelligences multiples (IM) est une théorie psychologique développée par Howard Gardner en 1983 qui s'éloigne de la représentation classique unifiée du concept d'intelligence. Les 7 formes d'intelligence Gardner distingue dans son ouvrage "Frames of Mind" sept formes d'intelligence qu'il illustre par une courte biographie d'une importante personnalité : L'intelligence musicaleL'intelligence kinesthésiqueL'intelligence logico-mathématiqueL'intelligence langagièreL'intelligence spatialeL'intelligence interpersonnelleL'intelligence intrapersonnelle

Depuis la parution en 1983 de la théorie des intelligences multiples d'Howard Gardner, nous pouvons maintenant voir nos élèves sous 8 types d'intelligences. Une neuvième forme d'intelligence « existentielle-spirituelle » est en étude afin d'en confirmer le fondement neurologique.
Gust MEES's insight:
Une pièce de théâtre pédagogique est idéale pour mettre en pratique les intelligences multiples, veuillez lire :
Avez-vous l’impression que, dans la société, on considère les gens qui sont doués dans des matières intellectuelles comme étant plus intelligents que les autres? En fait, une croyance véhiculée dans la société veut qu’il n’existe qu’un seul type d’intelligence, soit l’intelligence du raisonnement logique et ce type d’intelligence est mesurable sur l’échelle de QI. Cette croyance implique que si un individu fait preuve de ce type d’intelligence, il est donc intelligent et s’il n’en fait pas preuve, il ne l’est pas.
- Schooling and education [in a digital and internet age]
Schooling, in terms of people going to a building from 8:00am to 3:00pm, is going to be less and less prevalent. Education is going to be lifelong. It’s going to start very early, and as long as people are active, they are going to have to keep learning. It’s very different than from a century ago when a person attended high school, if that, and he/she was set for life. A lot of education will take place via distance.
We don't yet know the pros and cons of distance learning with young kids. I certainly think human face-to-face interaction is very important, but we are going to have to demonstrate that to skeptics. Skeptics will say that if we can do distance learning with a 3-year-old, then that’s the way it should be done.
People who believe in face-to face learning and older people who believe in residential education, as I do, will have to show that it has benefits that distance learning does not. Some of the negatives connected with both distance and face-to-face learning (e.g. cheating, bullying) will also have to be dealt with. They wont be able to be swept up under the rug.

In 1983, when Howard Gardner introduced the concept of multiple intelligences to the world in his book “Frames of Mind,” it paved the way for a seismic shift in how we view learners and permeated every aspect of education.
The famed psychologist explains why one is not the other though they are often confused.
1. Individualize your teaching as much as possible. Instead of “one size fits all,” learn as much as you can about each student, and teach each person in ways that they find comfortable and learn effectively. Of course this is easier to accomplish with smaller classes. But ‘apps’ make it possible to individualize for everyone.

Read it. I've always found Gardner's MI theory interesting - because it's a great equalizer - when I was growing up logical-mathematical intelligence (in Gardner's terminology) was given the highest importance - art, music, sports etc. were considered talents/gifts - and not intelligences. Gardner made them more respectable by calling them intelligences. This is why I too can call myself intelligent today - visually and spatially intelligent. Ahem!
We live in uncertain times, where we cannot be sure how the economy is going to perform today, let alone predict what kind of jobs there will be for students when they graduate in a few years time. How can we prepare students for a world of work that doesn't yet exist?
How can we help learners to ready themselves for employment that is shifting like the sand, and where many of the jobs they will be applying for when they leave university probably don't exist yet?
It's a conundrum many faculty and lecturers are wrestling with, and one which many others are ignoring in the hope that the problem will simply go away.
Whether we are meerkats, looking out and anticipating the challenges, or ostriches burying our heads in the sand, the challenge remains, and it is growing stronger.

It is a MUST to read the books of Howard GARDNER ===> "Multiple Intelligences" and "5 Minds for the Future" <===
A key premise of the Visible Thinking approach is to seek ways to uncover and document students thinking so it can be discussed, reflected upon, and pushed further. Consequently, teachers employ various strategies for documenting the thinking students do. In doing so, teachers develop and use a language of thinking, they make the classroom environment rich with the documents of thinking (both processes and products, they look for opportunities for student thoughtfulness, they use thinking routines to support and nurture students thinking, they model and make their own thinking visible, and they send clear expectations about the importance and role of thinking in learning.
We refer to these components--language, environment, opportunities, routines, modeling, and expectations--as cultural forces. These forces, shape a classroom and a school to give it its unique feel.
Harvard Professor Howard Gardner's research aims to help educators prepare students for the future, by explaining different types of minds: the disciplined, synthesizing and creative minds; the respectful and ethical minds.
