Chapter 2: MI and Personal Development

This last chapter makes it a point to make it clear that the favored intelligences of the educator will be evident in the classroom. It is important not to obscure less favored intelligences in the classroom, so the teacher must be proactive in including other intelligences, either through student involvement or seeking advice from a colleague. The chapter emphasizes that a teacher can take steps to develop intelligences that have maybe been missed out on earlier in life. The example of Mozart really helped to show the importance of nurture in the theory of multiple intelligences.
