I absolutely love the idea of using multiple intelligences in my classroom. Seriously, I think it's brilliant. I am not very logical or mathematical, but I can see how my peers would benefit from it. "Dr. Gardner says that our schools and culture focus most of their attention on linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligence."(Armstrong) This makes it so important that we as teachers focus on all the intelligences. I think it's really cool how you can incorporate everyone's learning style in a unit. I am more verbal-linguistic and intrapersonal. I love to read and write.I also keep lots of journals and self reflections. I find it very comforting to know that if it works for me, then it works for my students. I know I will definitely use this in my classroom one day. "The art of instruction is the heart of the teaching profession." (Costa 206) How beautiful is that? I find the "art of instruction" a very precious thing and I cherish it. I think that this is something all masters of teachers should hold dear.
