Signature workshop · Multiple Intelligences
Multiple intelligences, proposed by Howard Gardner, is the idea that intelligence isn't one general ability but several relatively distinct ones. Armstrong's DECAL-approved Multiple Intelligences training, led by Anna Camille Hampton, helps educators observe children's strengths and plan provocations that reach more learners — without the unsupported "learning styles" myth. Available in person across metro Atlanta, live-online, or self-paced from $19; live sessions run 1–8 hours from $35 per teacher and count toward Georgia's annual 10 DECAL clock hours.
Multiple intelligences, proposed by Howard Gardner, is the idea that intelligence isn't one general ability but several relatively distinct ones — linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic.
In early childhood, the framework helps teachers see and plan for the many ways children ages 2–6 are capable, not just verbal and numerical skill.
The eight intelligences — linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic — each show up in everyday play: the builder, the storyteller, the mover, the singer, the negotiator, the quiet reflector, the nature-lover.
The training profiles a real child across these intelligences so teams move past "smart / not smart" toward planning for the whole child.
Planning for the whole child means offering more than one way in — building, movement, music, talk, nature, and solo reflection — so every child engages. It shifts planning past "circle time for everyone" toward genuinely inclusive provocations.
The session is practical: profile a real child, then plan a set of provocations across the intelligences — and learn to avoid the "learning styles" myth that research does not support.
Teachers wanting to plan for different learners; directors wanting a recognisable, research-named PD; and educators-in-training.
In this workshop
Every session is hands-on and grounded in real classrooms — teachers leave with practice they can use the next day, not just vocabulary.
Quick answers
Short, direct answers to the questions educators and directors ask most.
Multiple intelligences, proposed by Howard Gardner, is the idea that intelligence isn't one general ability but several relatively distinct ones — linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. In early childhood, the framework helps teachers see and plan for the many ways children ages 2–6 are capable, not just verbal and numerical skill.
Apply multiple intelligences by observing each child's strengths and offering provocations across several intelligences at once — movement, music, building, talk, nature, and solo reflection — so every child has a way in. Armstrong's training teaches educators to profile children's strengths and design activities that reach more learners without labelling them.
No. Multiple intelligences describes distinct capacities every child has in different measures; "learning styles" claims children learn best in one fixed modality, a claim the research does not support. Armstrong's training is careful about this distinction — using Gardner's framework to broaden opportunities, not to pigeonhole children.
Yes. Armstrong Educational Services offers Multiple Intelligences in Early Childhood — a DECAL-approved training led by Anna Camille Hampton — in person across metro Atlanta, live-online, or self-paced from $19. Live sessions run 1–8 hours from $35 per teacher and count toward Georgia's annual 10 DECAL clock hours.
