I've recently discovered the "Multiple Intelligences for Adult Literacy 
and Education" WWW site.  Sponsored by Literacyworks (the Western/Pacific 
LINCS Regional Technology Center of the National Institute for Literacy) 
this site provides "innovative ways to help adult literacy instructors 
and students discover and tap into their unique and natural processes to 
ensure success in teaching and learning."  

The site's approach is based on Howard Gardner's theory of multiple 
intelligences, or the idea that people possess many different types of 
intelligences instead of only one type.  (The site's address is 
http://literacyworks.org/mi/home.html should you wish to visit it.)

As someone new to the world of adult literacy programming, I'm quite 
interested in the connection between adult learners and multiple 
intelligence theory.  If you have used any multiple intelligence 
assessments and/or classroom activities with adult learners, I would 
enjoy hearing about your experiences.  Would anyone be willing to share 
his or her successes and/or challenges with me?

Thank you!

Jenna Nemec
