The purpose of the Instructional Delivery Standard is to ensure teachers are engaging students through a diverse use of instructional strategies to meet learning needs. This is an important standard because people learn through multiple intelligences. Essential information is delivered in a way that reaches each type of learner. Students need the opportunity to absorb new information in a way that promotes understanding and application. The central objective of this standard is to ensure teachers are being held accountable to vary instruction to address all intelligences.
In every lesson plan, I make sure to address every different type of Garder’s multiple intelligences. Click HERE to view the lesson plan for this self-portrait mosaic project. On the second page in pink, you will find a description of how each intelligence is addressed.

This is an example of a Check for Understanding I’ve used in my classroom (5 min: Intrapersonal, Kinesthetic): TTW have previously taped slips of paper with different types of sculpture building techniques on the bottom of each student’s chair. TTW ask the students to reach under his/her chair to find the slip. TSW have the opportunity to tape his/her paper slip onto a sculpture in the front of the room according to the technique used to create the sculpture. TTW go over the answers to make sure each type of sculpture was appropriately identified.
