MI Chapter 1: The Foundations of the Theory of Multiple Intelligences

The first chapter of Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom is about the Multiple Intelligence theory. In this chapter I learned that there are currently 8 intelligences in this theory and that everyone has capacity in all intelligences. It doesn’t mean that a person is very good at music and nothing else. Also, the theory states that, most often, more than one intelligence is used at a time. The intelligences are a nice way to think about how students that I will have in my classroom learn best. I am sure that they will all have their strengths and weaknesses, and this theory may help me to find ways to teach to those strengths.
