Multiple Intelligences
Learning Styles and Habits of Mind
Learn How to Use Your Learning Style
In September, all students complete the multiple intelligences inventory. The information from this is graphed by each student, and the strengths identified are used to reinforce learning. As we learn and review content, lessons are designed to address different learning styles, and study skills taught which use the strengths of each individual student.

Learning about Thinking - Habits of Mind
How you think about learning and the Habits of Mind that you develop can shape your future. We explore Habits of Mind and work on developing habits for success. Habits of Mind Summary (From the Habits of Mind Teacher Network http://www.habitsofmind.org/)
