Open to all health sciences learners, staff, and faculty.

Join us virtually for an engaging session, as we explore adaptations of teaching methods to better meet diverse learner needs. This session will introduce Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences and Gallup Strengths, demonstrating how both frameworks can support a strengths-based approach to teaching and learning.

Participants will learn practical strategies for presenting information through multiple representations—such as visuals, simulations, and collaborative activities—that align with various learning styles and strengths. By the end of the session, attendees will be equipped with tools to enhance engagement, promote deeper learning, and foster meaningful connections in the classroom and clinical settings.
