090922: Multiple Intelligences / Habit #4 (Covey)

Multiple Intelligences Survey

BACKGROUND
(Wikipedia)The theory of multiple intelligences differentiates human intelligence into specific 'modalities', rather than seeing intelligence as dominated by a single general ability. Howard Gardner proposed this model in his 1983 book Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences.

(Tophat.com) Multiple intelligences is a theory first posited by Harvard developmental psychologist Howard Gardner in 1983 that suggests human intelligence can be differentiated into eight modalities: visual-spatial, verbal-linguistic, musical-rhythmic, logical-mathematical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic, and bodily-kinesthetic. Multiple intelligences refers to a theory describing the different ways students learn and acquire information. These multiple intelligences range from the use of words, numbers, pictures, and music, to the importance of social interactions, introspection, physical movement, and being in tune with nature.

090822: Executive Functions Survey / Habit #3 (Covey)

BACKGROUND
This week you will be learning about How You LEARN, How You LEAD, and How You FOLLOW Directions and Process Information. Each day you will be reviewing information about a series of surveys and learning tools that will help you learn about yourself. These tools will help you figure out in what areas you have strengths and what areas may need improvement. The KEY to this week is to remind yourself that all of these surveys are just "Snapshots" of you on the day you take them. You can change, grow, adapt, and be different based on your learning, skills, practice, attitude, emotions, and reactions, and other variables each day. The results of this week should give you a better idea of how you learn, areas where your strengths are, and maybe even a little insight into a future career or skills you can use to be successful! Relax and take each day as a new learning experience, and above all try to have a little fun with these activities! All The Best! - Mr. S

OVERVIEW

The Executive Functions are a set of processes that all have to do with managing oneself and one's resources in order to achieve a goal. It is an umbrella term for neurologically-based skills involving mental control and self-regulation.

(❗️) DL Personal Inventory Survey Results Worksheet (Google Document Worksheet)

STEP-BY-STEP DIRECTIONS

STEP 1: Watch the Youtube Videos about Executive Functions and what you can learn about yourself by taking the survey. 

STEP 2: (❗️) Click on the link to the K&M Center Website and look for the box that says "What are your child's skills?" and click the link for the EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING QUIZ. Click STUDENT QUIZ and enter your First Name, Grade, Age, Gender, and Tech Freire Gmail Address. When you complete the quiz (there are 40 Questions) you will see your RESULTS. Record the Numerical Score for each of the categories so you can transfer them to the worksheet we started earlier this week. Take a minute to review the results and the definitions of the categories. The higher the number the stronger that Executive Function is for you. Remember, this is just a snapshot for today. You could take the quiz again and have different results depending on a number of variables. The lower numbers may tell you about areas you need to improve, but it is not completely accurate either. 

STEP 3: (❗️) Open the worksheet we created earlier this week ((❗️) DL Personal Inventory Survey Results Worksheet) Record your scores and the date in the area indicated for EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS and write 1-2 Sentences about "What Did You Learn?"

LEARNING STYLES (Information & Survey)

Many people recognize that each person prefers different learning styles and techniques. Learning styles group common ways that people learn. Everyone has a mix of learning styles. Some people may find that they have a dominant style of learning, with far less use of the other styles. Others may find that they use different styles in different circumstances. There is no right mix. Nor are your styles fixed. You can develop ability in less dominant styles, as well as further develop styles that you already use well.

STEP 1: Watch one, or all, of the YouTube Videos about Learning Styles

STEP 2: Click the Link Below "What's Your Learning Style? 20 Questions" and answer all the questions. Write down "Your Scores:" You should get a percentage score for Auditory, Visual, and Tactile. Read a little about the type of learner you are on the website before moving on.

STEP 3: (❗️) GRADED - Click on the link below and MAKE A COPY of the Google Document "DL Personal Inventory Survey Results Worksheet"

STEP 4: Add your LAST NAME and Period Number to the TITLE of the Document.

STEP 5: (❗️) GRADED Under the section for Learning Styles enter your scores for A, V, & T. Enter the Date you took the Survey (Today), and write a sentence about what you learned in the space provided. Tomorrow you will use the SAME DOCUMENT to record more scores. We will be completing all the sections of this form, either in SYNCH or ASYNCH classes this week. This document is also one of the items you can use to meet the mandatory Pennsylvania Career Education & Work Standards for each student. You should SHARE the Document with your counselor when you discuss future plans and careers.
