Chapter 12: MI and Cognitive Skills

This chapter emphasizes encouraging students to embrace and develop their strong intelligences, while at the same time working to heighten their intelligences which may have once seemed weaker. In understanding the strengths and weaker areas of my students, I will be able to help them in their studying habits, whether encouraging already strong areas or helping students to overcome worries of weaker areas. It is possible to enhance each student’s primary intelligence through positive methods of teaching regardless of what the intelligence may be. Rather than encouraging memorization, teachers should work toward mastery in all areas. While memory is essential, memorization should not be the primary focus.
