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
