Chapter 11

Abstract

Chapter 11 dealt with a lot of things, but it specifically dealt with the multiple intelligence theory and getting into some of the specific uses of it including the use with special education. In this chapter we see the book explain why special education really need the MI theory because of trying to teach these kids in the way they learn. The special education people just focus on the student’s disabilities. In this chapter its all about this and the fact that people, teachers need to teach to the Mi so that everyone can learn. Dif every teacher does actually come down from the high hill that they are on and implement teaching to the Mi then we can most likely overcome almost any learning disability. We may be able to get ride of almost all special classrooms because kids are able to learn. Maybe kids really don’t have disabilities; maybe it really is because we don’t teach to their MI. But we will never know unless we try to actually teach to the Mi.

Reflection

I like this chapter and so do my group members because most of us agree that this new Mi theory could really change the way that students not only see school, but it may also revamp how schools are even organized. We can see from our perspective how Mi can help student actually learn, and that learning disabilities could really be a thing of the past if we can just start to implement the Mi into the classrooms, and be effective in implementing it. I know for myself I will try my best to implement the Mi theory into my classroom. Because I personally believe that there are no learning disabilities, its just the fact that we as teachers have stopped trying to help kids learn in a way that they can actually learn the material.
