Aspects to consider:

- General framework / project in which the training initiative took place

Measures to fight school dropping out aimed at ensuring that all the pupils have equal opportunity for social emancipation within the Walloon-Brussels federation.

- Reasons why the training initiative is relevant and selected

By bringing skills that are less valorized by our society to the level of intelligence, the theory of multiple intelligences opens new perspectives for the comprehension of academic failure and suggests innovative ways to remedy.

- Skills acquired by the teachers involved

• Discovering of the theory and its implication in education

• Experimenting some tools that allow to better understand the pupil’s behaviour and to set up a class profile

• Designing together adapted educative or repairing/healing tools.

- Impact on the professional development

Tools for the setting up of a differentiated pedagogy the educative staffs are not trained to.

- Final comments of the reviewer

2-days training for the teachers.

This training suggests a mixture of theories, practical applications and common constructionc in order to establish the training into the professional reality and to arouse a confrontation of points of view between the participants.
