The book also gives the traditional definition of intelligence as to "usually include mental capabilities such a s reasoning, problem solving and abstract thinking"(Sadker & Zittleman, p. 26-27, 2010). I feel this way because all students tend to learn differently. Some students may be strong in one of the multiple intelligences, which include: logical-mathematical, linguistic, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal and naturalist. The students may also perform average in a few of the other multiple intelligences. With this teachers are able to try and teach content through a variety of activities that incorporate all of the intelligences or at least a few. .
I believe that the role and responsibility of student learners is to be a student, a learner and a team member in the classroom. The role of the student learner is to also learn how to learn effectively. The role of the teacher on the other hand has a very important role in the classroom. The Houston chronicles states that "A teacher's role involves more than simply standing in front of a classroom and lecturing. In fact, even though a teacher spends the majority of the day in the classroom, the actual teaching component is only part of the job. An effective teacher understands that teaching involves wearing multiple hats to ensure that the school day runs smoothly and all students receive a quality education"(Zeiger, n.g.). I agree with this completely. I agree with this completely. A role of an effective teacher involves much more than what meets the eye. A teacher has to be an effective planner to make sure students is always on the right track to greatness. A teacher also needs to great at instruction instead of just a lecturer, and has to be able to interact with students on a level to make them want to learn and excel. .
