This is pretty much the dominant teaching philosophy in Australia and New Zealand. When I go into the classroom, the first thing I gauge is what Bloom's intelligences the children seem to favour and how I can work this into lessons to cater for everybody's different learning styles. Is this not something that is embraced in the US?
