Mr. Hooper is a fifth-grade teacher at Mt. General Elementary School. He believes very strongly in Gardner's theory of intelligence and that students have various areas of relative strength and weakness. He has attended numerous workshops regarding the application of multiple intelligence theory in the classroom. Over the years, he has developed a classroom that he believes fosters development in all of Gardner's eight Frames of Mind. Mr. Hooper's classroom is bright and cheerful. On the walls hang motivational posters that he believes help children to think about who they are and what they want out of life. In addition, the walls are covered with student-produced art. The room has a conversation area, a naturalist area, and a reading area, as well as the main area where each table accommodates four students. The conversation and reading areas have beanbag chairs so students can be comfortable and are set apart by rolling bookcases. The naturalist area consists of a table filled with rocks, bird nests, shells, and other objects that Mr. Hooper's students have found. Mr. Hooper is also fortunate enough to have three computers in his room. Mr. Hooper believes that allowing students to work in each academic area within their areas of strength will enhance learning. Therefore, when studying the American Revolution, students whose strength is in linguistic intelligence engage in research and write about what they have found. Those whose strength is spatial intelligence create maps of the colonies and battles. Those whose strength is logical-mathematical reasoning compute distances between points and estimate the amount of time required for soldiers to travel. Students with high naturalistic intelligence discuss the various plants and animals likely to be found in different regions of the colonies and discuss whether colonial soldiers could have eaten them to ward off starvation. To ensure that bodily-kinesthetic needs are met, Mr. Hooper regularly has his students stand and either run in place or jump up and down. Interpersonal intelligence needs are met for all students through the use of cooperative learning groups. Intrapersonal intelligence needs are met through journaling. Mr. Hooper always has music playing while the students are working to help meet student's musical intelligence needs.
