MI Chapter 3 Reflections

This chapter discusses ways to discover the dominant intelligences in your students. It lists such obvious sources such as interviewing the student, their parents, and other teachers, reviewing school records, and direct observation. I was delighted to read the tip he gave of watching for how the children misbehave. This is so appropriate because these times are when they are the most honest. They are misbehaving because their intelligences are forcing their way through the veneer of ‘proper behavior’ in the classroom.
