MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES
LEARNING IS NOT JUST STUDYING
BOOKS, MEMORIZING FACTS, OR BEING
ABLE TO REPEAT EXACTLY WHAT A
TEACHER TELLS YOU IS IMPORTANT.
TRUE LEARNING, THE KIND THAT WILL
LAST A LIFETIME, HAPPENS WHEN A
STUDENT NOT ONLY DISCOVERS WHAT HE
OR SHE IS PASSIONATE ABOUT, BUT
DISCOVERS THE HOW BEHIND THEIR
LEARNING.
