Chapter 4 Teaching Students about MI Theory

It is important for a teacher who embraces the multiple intelligences theory to understand it well enough to explain it to his or her students. This chapter explained some ways that teachers can go about presenting the theory. I found displaying it on a pie chart and describing the different intelligences to be the most direct way. If I was going to present this theory to my students I would use it to help them to understand themselves and others better, and it would come in handy when putting people in groups. Giving students this knowledge could be very helpful for student interaction and would give them confidence that each one has an intelligence of their own.
