Chapter 8 MI Theory and Classroom Management

Multiple Intelligences leaks into every aspect of teaching and classroom management is no exception. Throughout this chapter various ways that multiple intelligences can be used to establish order in a classroom are given. I particularly liked the ideas given for conveying the rules to students of different intelligences. Giving students different ways of remembering the rules that are given in a classroom or by the school is a helpful way of ensuring they will take some ownership of them. I could see splitting my students up into groups based on their intelligences and allowing them to learn these rules in the way that has most meaning to them. I could also see these ideas being helpful for helping students to know what is expected in a class either using the syllabus or some kind of schedule going over the topics that will be covered in a unit.
