Okay, there's a crowded classroom in front of you. In fact, you're even over the maximum that should be in a class, but there's a teacher shortage (what a surprise). An administrator starts off the year with a conference about how teachers should be tying in multiple intelligences, especially because students with intellectual and developmental disabilities need different modes of transfer.
What now? The National Writing Project offered a beneficial article about including these intelligences. "It makes sense to address as many of these intelligences as possible" by framing your teaching with a touch of logic, with a touch of linguistics, a touch of music, a touch of spatial and visual representations, a touch of moving around, with a touch global and bigger perspectives, a touch of relational and collaborative activities, and a touch of individual work time. That's exciting to me! I see that list and I start envisioning how I can overlap these intelligences with each other. That my friend, is a dynamic and inclusive classroom, especially for students with cognitive disabilities.
