This chapter gave me the impression that the Multiple Intelligence model is more than just a way for categorizing students for a teachers convince. Chapter 4 made it quite clear that having your students understand the model helped them feel more confident about their abilities, if they’ve been explained it in a positive way. Helping them understand that they are smart in more than one way is a confidence booster that most children need, and teaching them about this method is a great way to do it in a way that the students believe is scientific- proven. I hope that I get to teach this model to my students, even if I can’t spend much time on it. I feel like it would be a great introductory exercise on the first few days of school to get to know them, the way they think, and to help them get comfortable in a new class.
