1. Identify which of the multiple intelligences you have strengths in and then discuss some of the core characteristics of that (or those) intelligences. Discuss which of the core characteristics best describe you and your learning style.
I feel like I fit many of the nine intelligences. However, I relate the best with the intrapersonal intelligence. Out of the four core characteristics, I feel that the affective awareness and self-regulation characteristics fit me best. I am very aware of my feelings, attitudes and outlooks . I know what I want and know what goals to set to get from point A to point B. As far as my learning style, I am always setting goals for myself, from tasks to get done in a certain amount of time or grades to earn. The characteristic of self-regulation is one that I do regularly. I am always my actions, thoughts and behaviors. I always try to think my actions through before acting. I also try to act as if my grandpa or my little nephew is watching me. They are both two important people who I don't want to disappoint and so if it's something that I would not want them seeing me do, think, or say, I try to refrain from it.
2. Discuss what students with this type of intelligence enjoy, are like, or tend to do within classroom settings.
A student who is intrapersonal has self-confidence and is knows what they want. They are not shy about stating their opinions. They like to communicate their feelings and they also set realistic goals, as I stated earlier. Another characteristic that these students bring to the classroom is the ability to relate to others based on their "sense of self". These are the students whom a teacher doesn't need to worry about as much as they act appropriately and are able to act fairly with all.
3. Discuss how you will support this type of intelligence within your classroom and within your teaching.
Catering to an intrapersonal student doesn't seem as difficult as other intelligences. One way that I can support this student is by assigning assignments that allow the student to have some say on the way that they complete the assignment. This could include having the student create a fitness plan. They can create their own plan and include their choice of activities as long as it meets the specific criteria. Another way I can support an intrapersonal student is by having them set fitness goals that they want to achieve. While tyring to accomplish their goal, the students can also keep a journal of their progress.
4. Discuss what technologies stimulate thus type of intelligence.
The technologies that I can incorporate into a P.E. class that supports the intrapersonal student is a journal. As I just mentioned, it can be a journal of their progress on a goal. I can also have them do self-assessments on how they think their performance is in P.E. Another technology that I can use is a reflection on what they have learned and what else they want to learn while in P.E.
5. And finally, discuss how you see your attention to multiple intelligences could impact student learning within your classroom.
By paying attention to multiple intelligences in my classroom/gym, I will be supporting all students and their learning styles. Catering to the students' intelligences, I will help their success in school, specifically P.E. but also with their success in life. I hope that by using all multiple intelligences I will be able to have students realize their own learning styles as well as the other ways that they can learn. Not only do I hope to have them realize their learning style, but also realize personal characteristics that they have. By knowing their own characteristics, they learn more about who they are, an important thing for students to learn. This is not as easy as it seems, but with intentional planning and practice, I feel confident that I will be able to reach all types of students.
