MI Chapter 1

When becoming a teacher, one should at least be a little familiar with the theory of Multiple Intelligences. A teacher should keep in mind that everyone has different learning styles and that not all students will be strong in the same intelligences. A curriculum should touch upon each of the eight intelligences in order for the students’ education to be truly equal. There are people whom are very strong in one intelligence, but weak in the others and vice versa. Each individual is different, so teaching grammar in a linguistic only approach will not help the student who has a strong spatial intelligence. When I begin building lessons plans, I am going to do my best to ensure that I include the eight intelligences in my teaching.
