Chapter 1: The Foundations of MI Theory

Chapter one began by going through the 8 “intelligences” that we had previously discussed in class, but as the chapter went on I began to understand more of how each works together. Starting on page fifteen Thomas Armstrong begins to explain the “Key Points in MI Theory. The very first point was “Each person possesses all eight intelligences”. This made me think about how I had always labeled kids. Prior to reading this I had always tried to pinpoint what I believed to be a child’s strong point. After reading this I believe that I’ll be a more understanding teacher by knowing that each of my students has some of every intelligence, but others are more prominent. This will help me challenge and understand them in the long run.
