Of Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligences, I fell that the Verbal- linguistic intelligence is my strength. Verbal- linguistic intelligence draws on the individual’s language skills, oral and written; to express what’s on the persons mind and to understand other people.
I have always been a person that has had much more success when delivering something in text form or by the spoken word. As a leader in my high school I was always chosen to give presentations and speeches to represent my school. From campus to campus or district wide, I also wrote a few articles on the school/ district to turn into the local city news paper for publishing. I also helped represent many clubs and other oragnizations through events such as "Miss Public Service" for my criminal justice club and "Interview" for my FFA club. These events were the events that represented the school over all. Tey were like "spokesperson" for the district.
When it comes to listening and understanding others, I prefer to communicate in an oral manner. I have been put into situations where I had to communicate with people orally and have succeeded. I believe this strength is important to have when becoming an educator so you can better communicate with and understand the students you are working with. for exapmle, if you were to have a student with speach disorders you can always communicate with them by using pictures and things of that sort.
Overall, I believe this strength will help me become an awesome educator as I hope to one day become.
Now that you have discovered your area of strength imaging what you can do if you were to administer a multiple intelligence test to all your students.
