Disrupting Tradition



3 Customized teaching (Mastering this is my goal, but is it possible in standardized schools?); Theory of multiple intelligences; Students mostly act out because they don’t understand, so as teachers, we must have empathy.

2 How can this chapter be taught using Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences? It seems that this chapter would really only work for visual learners. Who is adamant about keeping the traditional school model (politicians, administrators, teachers, students, parents, community members)?

1 I would like to learn more about Gardner’s definition for intelligence because it seems to emphasize problem solving skills and real-world application rather than IQ. Also, I would like to learn how to teach to different intelligences. 


Thoughts formulated after reading chapter one of Disrupting Class.

  1. I think the only people interested in keeping the traditional system are those that flourishde in it. That includes all the educated people and leaves out all of those that struggled. Isnt this simply a way of defining a class system and keeping those that are in the upper class in the upper class, and those in lower class where they belong?
