Consider such questions as: Do IQ tests consistently predict how students will do after they get out into the real world? What are other ways of being intelligent? Has our education system focused too much attention on words and numbers? Can I learn other intelligences? What is a growth mindset and how can having one enable me to be successful? Write a sentence or two.
2. Take the MI test (select the test below) and create a pie chart of your multiple intelligence. What are your top three intelligences? What are your bottom three? What conclusions can you make about yourself as a student? Write a sentence or two.
