MI Chapter Three


I really enjoyed what was talked about in this chapter, about how teachers can observe their students and the unique ways teachers can learn their students multiple intelligence and what areas of multiple intelligence their students have skills in. My favorite part of the chapter, was when Armstrong, the author, mentioned that you can tell a lot about a student and their intelligence by how they misbehave​ in the classroom. It really was an interesting way to look at it and an interesting way to discover the intelligences of their students.

I also loved what the author said about how you can look at school records to determine what kind of intelligence a student might hold. A strong grade in math and science classes might indicate a logical learning, higher grades in physical education could point to bodily­kinesthetic learnings and good performances in art and music classes could mean musical or visual learners. The different methods this chapter introduced about learning about student intelligences were all really interesting and were definitely things that I’ll remember for when I have my own classroom.

I also really liked how the author talked about the importance of student intelligences and stressing that communicating with students about their intelligences is a great way to learn them. By learning the intelligences of all the students, we, as teachers, can model our curriculum around making our lessons easy for everyone in the class to understand, even if everyone in the class has a different intelligence that they are strongest in. The author also made sure to stress that we can be strong in several of the different intelligences, even if one happens to be the strongest.
