How Does The Ohio Academy Teach?

We All Have Multiple Intelligences

The theory of Multiple Intelligence takes into account the unique talents and ways of knowing that we each possess. There are seven different intelligences, or ways that people process information. Most schools and traditional learning deal only with verbal linguistic (reading and writing) but we all have other intelligence: multiple intelligences. It is exciting and rewarding to identify our other natural intelligences, such as musical, math logical, body kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and spatial intelligence.

Unlike standard achievement tests that look at what we know, Multiple Intelligence looks at how we know. It starts with an assessment index that identifies each Future Professional’s unique learning strengths. There are no right or wrong answers, only individual indications of learning talents. After Future Professionals complete the online quiz, they receive a "talent key" that outlines their dominant strengths (intelligences). By providing them with the talent key, we show students how they may best approach learning within our schools. Our Learning Leaders use the talent key to customize a curriculum and offer targeted instruction.

No Learner Is Left Behind

Once their intelligence has been determined, Future Professionals have the information to make directional changes in their lives. The dominant intelligences listed on their personalized printout define the methods they most often use to process information and solve problems. These domains are their processing strengths and personal traits. Knowing their dominant domains assists them in choosing an environment for working and learning that accommodates their intelligences. Research has proven that it is essential for people to learn in an environment that complements their dominant domains for maximum career opportunities to occur. Customized curriculum addresses each Future Professional’s unique way of learning in this current and proven method.

As a result of a Paul Mitchell Schools Multiple Intelligence education, Future Professionals gain knowledge and insight into how they individually learn and process information. With Multiple Intelligence, no learner is left behind.

 

Quick Fact About The Ohio Academy and other Paul Mitchell Schools: We are Going Green!

Paul Mitchell Schools are developing student-run Green Teams of their own. These bold, unstoppable change makers are turning their schools, communities, and the world into a cleaner, better place by implementing recycling programs on their campuses. Here’s how they’re doing it (and you can do it, too)!

Steps to Recycling in Your School, Salon, or Spa

1. Find the best areas in your business for recycling bins. Different areas will require different types of bins.
2. Types of bins you may need:
   * Glass bins
   * Garbage bins
   * Plastic bins: Place a bin in your dispensary or Color Bar for plastic bottles. (Rinse all bottles before recycling.)
   * Paper bins: Which parts of your business use paper? (Example: offices.) Find an area in those rooms and place reusable and recyclable paper bins there.
   * Hair bins: To recycle the hair that gets cut throughout the day, place recycling bins on your clinic floor and send the hair to an organization that recycles it (such as Matters of Trust).
3. Find local recycling centers that will refund for recyclables. If your business is a school, the money should be put back into student-run programs and school activities.
4. Create a 30-day action plan/calendar with specific assignments and deadlines for implementing recycling in your organization.
