Chapter two of Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom explains that nature, nurture, and personal experiences help shape the multiple intelligences of different individuals. From my personal experience, I have become a multimodal learner. However, teachers can gain an insight to their multiple intelligences by taking surveys or asking their own students what intelligence they most exercise within the classroom. If educators find themselves focusing on a particular intelligence, the teacher can make a conscious effort to incorporate other intelligences into the curriculum. As a teacher, I can learn how to strengthen my weak intelligences by partnering with a colleague, ask a student to demonstrate the way he/she likes to learn, and I could use the school resources. I would like to be able to crystallize students' once-paralyzed intelligence through discovering and understanding why students had shut themselves off from that particular learning style.
