Teachers need to be aware of how students think about the topics they are being presented with in order to help them retain the information. Multiple Intelligence theory provides teachers with ways that he or she can present information so that students will store it in their memory and use it in the world. This chapter encourages teachers to focus on helping students use the information they are being presented with so that he or she has a working knowledge to work from. I was surprised that so many students are only being taught at a surface level and are never encouraged to go beyond the basic knowledge to be able to use the information. When I teach, I need to ensure that I require my students to think beyond what I am teaching them and use their intelligences to use the information in the world.
