Reflection Question:
Chapter Multiple Intelligences
Which multiple intelligence model do you currently use most often? Which multiple intelligence model do you use the least? Why?
Chapter 7 - Student self-assessment allows students to find value in their education. Too often I see students waiting for the teacher to tell them if they are right or wrong. I believe it is important to develop their self-confidence and help them know how to ask questions and how to defend their answers when they believe they are right.
ReplyDeleteMultiple intelligences - My learning strength is logical/mathematical, and that used to be my most common way to teach. Now, I feel comfortable using a variety of the multiple intelligences as I plan lessons. It actually makes lesson planning fun! Visual/spatial because that is my personal weakness, but I have found that giving students these opportunities allows me to learn more. :)
