MI: Chapter 10

Chapter 1o Mi and Assessment provided information on how to include assessment using the eight intelligences. Throughout the other chapter the book was focusing on and pushing for an education where students are learning through their eight intelligences and focusing on the intelligences they are best at. So now it only makes sense to incorporate assessment that allows students to express their knowledge on a topic through the eight intelligences. Standardized tests limit students to simply writing, filling in the blanks and bubbles. Incorporating MI into assessments would allow students to be assessed through options and their intelligences, they could make a video or sing a song to express their knowledge. It would be crazy to teach kids how to learn based on the eight intelligences and then never assess them in that way. Some teachers need to get out of that old way of teaching where tests and assessments are always related to a pencil and paper.
