Artifact #8: Research Brochures - Gardner and Holt.

Learning from theorists young and old can help an educator gain knowledge on an

endless number of subjects and topics. For my research brochure I chose Howard Gardner

because of his research in the multiple intelligences. I understand that everyone has many

different learning styles and by learning about them I can foster learning in many different styles.

John Holt believed in unschooling and when children were provided with a stimulating

environment they would learn what they needed in their own time. I chose John Holt because I

believe giving students the opportunity to learn material in their own way was something I could

adopt into my classroom. His beliefs include much more freedom than I would include in my

classroom but there are pieces of his work I would try in my classroom.

INTASC Standard

Standard #9: Professional Learning and Ethical Practice

The teacher engages in ongoing professional learning and uses evidence to continually evaluate

his/her practice, particularly the effects of his/her choices and actions on others (learners,

families, other professionals, and the community), and adapts practice to meet the needs of each

learner.

NYS Code of Ethics Standard for Educators

Principle #3: Educators commit to their own learning in order to develop their practice

Educators recognize that professional knowledge and development are the foundations of their

practice. They know their subject matter, and they understand how students learn. Educators

respect the reciprocal nature of learning between educators and students. They engage in a

variety of individual and collaborative learning experiences essential to develop professionally

and to promote student learning. They draw on and contribute to various forms of educational

research to improve their own practice.
