predicted? 2. How might these results influence the instructional
approaches you use in your classroom? Share with a partner Slide 13
Multiple Ways of Knowing If we provide students the opportunity to
develop the full range of their intellectual capacities and teach
them how to use their multiple ways of knowing in the learning
task, they will learn the things we are trying to teach more
thoroughly than if we only permit them to learn in the more
traditional verbal linguistic and logical mathematical ways. David
