Abstract	This paper focuses on the implementation of the multiple intelligences (MI.) theory in 21st century teaching and learning environment, suggesting that it offers a new tool for effective teaching and learning at all levels. The eight current MI include: verbal/linguistic, logical/mathematical, visual/spatial, bodily/kinesthetic, musical/rhythmic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. Despite research on the effectiveness of the MI theory, traditional teaching and learning strategies of lecture still prevail in school, with the expectation that all students learn in the same way. This paper looks at the different types of intelligences, offering a definition of MI, historical developments of MI, and application of the MI into the classroom social environment. It also discusses two new candidate intelligences: spiritualist and existentialist. The paper concludes that traditional ways of understanding pedagogy, and static methods of teaching, are giving way to the new classroom examination and application of the MI. It notes that in the process of employing the MI, teachers should also consider the cognition, language, and culture of each student. (Contains 36 references.)
