Curriculum must be relevant to the student. Recognizing several intelligences allows

educators to custom fit the instructional delivery to the child, depending on the child's
particular bent or intelligence, uncovering a full range of abilities. It recognizes students do
not learn in the same way and do not possess the same minds; therefore, they learn,
remember, and perform in different ways. Educators must create genuine understanding
and involve the child in the learning process if learning is to occur.
(Gardner & Hatch, 1984)
