MI Chapter 2

It is important to understand what intelligences may be strongest in each of us. This way, we can understand what biases we may posses, and can understand its effect in class. If we are lacking in a certain intelligence there is a variety of ways to make sure that our students do not suffer for it, such as collaborating with other teachers, asking students for help, and using technology. Ideally though it would be best to develop our intelligences that we may be lacking. There are many factors that decide which intelligences are developed and which are lacking in an individual. It should be a goal of teachers to create more “crystallizing” experiences than “paralyzing” for our students.
