MI Chapter 4

      I found it really interesting that in this chapter the teachers actually took the time to explain the MI theory to students. To me this showed how much the teachers cared about the students because they took the time to explain the theory rather then assuming the students wouldn't understand or that they didn't need to know about it. I also found it remarkable how the teachers asked questions in such a way that made the students really feel more confident in themselves and not feel "less intelligent" then other students. To me this chapter illustrated what it really meant to be a teacher and how much teachers actually care about the students and how much knowledge the students gain and the personal growth rather then worrying about test scores and assessments. I really thought it was unique and surprising how many different ways teachers could creatively incorporate the different learning styles. I also felt so impressed that teachers put in this much effort to connect with their students because in today's world teachers are conveyed as "not caring" and that they are constantly blamed for the faults in the education system. I feel like this really had an impact on how I run my classroom because I understand how important it is for students to feel comfortable with the methods and techniques they use to learn and that if they are more comfortable maybe they won't be so reluctant to learn new information. I definitely feel like some of these options that were mentioned are potential choices for my future students that can engage them in the learning process in a fun and interactive way.
