This project is an accelerated learning package based on the nine intelligences.

Linguistic - Visual/Spatial - Bodily/Kinaesthetic - Natural - Musical
Intrapersonal - Moral/Existential - Interpersonal - Logical/Mathematical

A class is split into small groups. Directed by a group leader, each group researches a topic [their piece of the 'jigsaw'] and imparts their knowledge to the class group by way of presentations, revision pack and interactive quizzes. So the pieces of the jigsaw 'fit together' into a complete lesson which the participants effectively teach and assess themselves!

The project is driven by a Powerpoint presentation; in addition, there are student and teacher resources to help other teachers run the project.
