Chapter 3 Describing Intelligences in Students

It is important for teachers to take notice of their students’ intelligences and to analyze them. A teacher should be aware of the ways in which his or her students learn, and gather that information for various sources. This chapter gave me many helpful hints on ways to find out what my students’ intelligences are. Knowing what kinds of things the students get into when they are not paying attention and during free time can be a great indicator of what intelligence a learner has. It was also pointed out that school records and discussions with parents and other teachers, can be a great resource. When I begin teaching, I plan to take the time to notice the strengths of my students, so that I can better help them to learn.
