Male & Female educators are reaching a greater number of learners by providing a variety of teaching strategies in the curriculum. Gardner describes seven intelligence: linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, Bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, and interapersonal. Mastery style represents the ability to use language to describe events and sequence activities; the Interpersonal style, the ability to use language to build trust and rapport; the Understanding style, the ability to develop logical arguments and use rhetoric; and the Self-expressive style, the ability to use metaphoric and expressive language.
