We are created<br \/>\nunique and are gifted with Multiple Intelligences. Our Creator bids us<br \/>\nto make an honorable try at overcoming injustice and the inequalities<br \/>\nof our births.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Learning takes place by engagement of our Multiple Intelligences.<\/strong><br \/>\nAlthough higher esteem is afforded Linguistic, Mathematic, and Interpersonal<br \/>\nIntelligences, those who are more able in Kinesthetic, Natural, Spatial,<br \/>\nand Spiritual Intelligences can succeed. They can strengthen their Linguistic<br \/>\nand Mathematic performances by leveraging off their preferred learning<br \/>\npathways. Students are quick to agree that they are engaging Mathematic<br \/>\nIntelligences when they perform feats on the basketball court. Likewise<br \/>\nthey are ready to acknowledge that their Linguistic talents are displayed<br \/>\nby emphatic recitations of songs. The harder task is to overcome Intrapersonal<br \/>\nanxieties which derive from historical wrongs, insecurity, anger, and<br \/>\nshame.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The role of the teacher<\/strong> is to assist students in overcoming<br \/>\ninjustice and the inequalities of our births. Discovery of the honors<br \/>\nof disregarded heritages is empowering. Spiritual Intelligence provides<br \/>\nstrategies for overcoming familial and tribal woundings. Some of the highly<br \/>\nregarded felons in history include our founding fathers and King David.<br \/>\nThe teacher must encourage and while doing so be credible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Role of the Students:<\/strong> The students must work in<br \/>\ngroup, in pair with their teacher, and alone but always supported by the<br \/>\nresources mustered by school. Learning should excite, be planned and methodical.<br \/>\nIt should challenge us to seek allies. We should frequently stand and<br \/>\ndeliver. It is important to laugh while we stumble.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cross Cultural Education:<\/strong> As volunteer educator I engaged<br \/>\nin learning with the incarcerated inside the walls of the North Dakota<br \/>\nState Prison. We crossed barriers of resentment and shame. We meet to<br \/>\ndiscover nearly lost heritages and to study character. Our lessons focused<br \/>\nupon Law and Natural History. Our videos displayed the hunters and fishers<br \/>\nof the Native American Nations. We convinced each other to find what is<br \/>\nhonorable in our cultures and keep on learning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As an explorer and seeker of justice, my philosophy of education and awareness of how learning occurs derives from discovery.
