"Knowledge is not the same as morality, but we need to understand if we are to avoid past mistakes and move in productive directions. An important part of that understanding is knowing who we are and what we can do... Ultimately, we must synthesize our understandings for ourselves" (Howard Gardner 1999: 180-181). Discovering your strengths as an educator and those strengths of your students can be completed easily. Many online surveys exist. We like one particular one that provides a visual for students. The online tool also has text to speech capacity as well as the ability to obtain a multiple intelligence profile of your class. What strengths do you have in your community of learners? Find out, and then take steps to plan instruction that honour the needs and intelligence of your students. Multiple Intelligence Survey "A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimension." Oliver Wendell Holmes Shirley Craig
