Although I believe that multiple intelligences can be incorporated into any classroom, with the right degree of creativity on the part of the teacher, I also know that having the resources to make use of computers to create webquests, to have adequate access to art and musical materials, to be able to conduct field trips, and to have a diversity of books, pictures, guest speakers, and hands-on materials will enhance my ability to make use of the multiple intelligence philosophy in my curriculum
How does it fit in with my school?
Because of national pressure, schools are forced to comply with standardized assessments based upon 'No Child Left Behind' legislation that emphasize math and reading alone, often in a highly standardized format. However, there is also a corresponding pressure to ensure that students are technically literate, and can work in teams, and I hope to incorporate other 'learning styles'...
A computer can be used to draw in visual learners who learn by drawing and seeing pictures of concepts, and team activities can engage in hands-on, kinesthetic learning. Although some compromises can be necessary, with creativity and by using innovative assignments to reinforce basic skills, I hope that my philosophy will not be seen as in conflict to the need for students to meet the curricular requirements mandated by my school.

Curriculum Design When a group of individuals designed to be members of a sales force for a brick and mortar multinational business go 'back to school,' the curriculum philosophy, implementation and design of the firm will be by definition much, much different in its objectives than the aims of the curriculum of a local school district. The difference will not simply be in the age of the individuals, as many older
One way to take learning in a direction relevant to student interest is to invite student dialogue about the lessons and units of study. Given the opportunity for input, students generate ideas and set goals that make for much richer activities than I could have created or imagined myself.

Within my educational philosophy, the concept of knowledge is, as it is in Bloom's hierarchy,
