¶ … teaching a group of five-year-old students about proper hygiene and avoidance of flourosis, it is best to utilize the Multiple Intelligences learning theory that was developed by Howard Gardner. The main reason this learning theory would be best to use with five-year-old students is because usually at a kindergarten level there are several different ways that the children could learn. Also, the total attention span of a five-year-old is very short, so the Multiple Intelligence learning theory would provide a variety of different activities that are more likely to maintain the student's complete attention and interest.
First, to explain the concept of the importance of proper hygiene, the use of a story and a puppet would be an excellent way to open the lesson and introduce the concept. As the puppet "tells the story," the teacher or a helper can demonstrate proper brushing techniques. The students will want to try the techniques as they were demonstrated and this is where a hands-on activity could begin. By using a story, a puppet and demonstration of the actual techniques as the lesson introduction, students who learn by listening, seeing, and doing have been stimulated.
Following the story and the demonstration, the use of a song to reinforce the steps to proper brushing would assure that the students learn and remember each step. If the music is set to a song they are already familiar with, the chance of learning and remember are increased as the student will make a positive connection.
Finally, a kinestic activity should take place. This could be by having the student draw a picture of him/her doing proper technique or by having the students role-play proper techniques with a partner.
When teaching a group of five-year-old students, it is important to have a wide variety of activities that reach all styles and types of learning. The activities should not be too long and should be taught using vocabulary and language that they identify with and clearly understand. Therefore, the Multiple Intelligence learning theory would be best in this situation.

Teach Group of Students Who Have Never Learned English before, what would you do during the first three weeks? What would be the characteristics of the things you intended to teach? If your students made mistakes, what would you do? If they refused to talk, what would you do? First impressions are important in establishing a good relationship between teachers and students. Foreign students often come to the classroom with many
Diabetic Teaching Plan Teaching Plan Teaching plan: Patients with diabetes Although all patients with type I diabetes manifest the same basic biology in terms of the manifestation of the illness, patients of different ages and genders will have different emotional, social, and environmental needs.

teacher teach before burning out or becoming stale? This paper looks at the ideas of whether teachers should be made to go back into learning to gain a new license after a period of time, also looking at how their time can be best used with initiating new forms and methods into the classroom. How long can a teacher teach before he becomes stale? Every school system has a philosophy behind it,
