Synopsis

Our students know, understand, and learn about the world in many different ways, and the most effective religious educators know how to tap into these various 'intelligences' in the classroom.

In this enlightening and practical book, Bernadette Stankard shows how each kind of intelligence is a spark of the presence of God in us that can awaken our potential. She shows how surprisingly easy it is to integrate these intelligences into faith formation to make learning a pleasure for students and teachers of all ages, backgrounds, and gifts. Here you ll find innovative classroom activities to help you teach about prayer, the sacraments, the church year, and more to those with every combination of giftedness, from visual spatial to interpersonal.

Using the multiple intelligences theory in religious education can awaken and enhance that giftedness for the good of the whole church community and the world.
