MI #4

Abstract:Teaching MI in the classroom is easy and can be accomplished at any level of education. If MI is being taught to a younger audience then it is important to use age appropriate terms such as “word smart” instead of linguistic. Not only is teaching MI but it is also beneficial to the student and the teacher because it may give students insights into their own learning and it will give insights to the teacher on how to better reach struggling students. Going along with the MI theory there are many ways to introduce MI ranging from field trips, having special guests come in, making displays to put up on the walls to playing board games. It is very important that teachers do not emphasize one MI over another and that they are all equally important.

By exposing children at a young age to MI theory we arm them with useful tools on how they learn
