Chapter 11: MI and Special Education

This chapter was very interesting to me as I am very interested in special education as well as how to incorporate special education students into my mainstreamed classroom. Rather than looking at students with special needs as different, the teacher should instead focus upon incorporating them into the classroom and focusing upon their strongest intelligences. A big portion of beginning this process is to focus on positive aspects of student learning rather than negative, then working from this point. Along these lines, students who generally have strengths in certain areas generally have a difficult time in other areas. If these weak areas are focused upon, they can be developed into areas of great strength and students will be able to use them in the future.
