Chapter Three: Describing Intelligences in Students

Chapter three of Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom stated that implementing assessments to figure out how students learn could only go so far. The best way to discover a child's learning style is simply to observe them. Their misbehavior are the best indicators of students needing assistance with learning in the classroom. The chapter suggested that the teacher should create student portfolios. In addition to observing how a student behaves in and out of the classroom, teachers are advised to look at the student's records, ask the child's parents and the child themselves. Creating special activities for the students also contribute to assisting teachers discover students' different learning styles and intelligences. I loved this chapter because I was extremely anxious whenever I thought about how I would ever manage to assess students' intelligence and dive into depth when learning about my students. The chapter helped me become aware of students' needs and what I can do to effectively meet them.
