Chapter eight talks about classroom management, and how multiple intelligences influence the elements of management. The chapter provides specific methods of how to grab the attention of someone with each of the eight intelligences. The chapter also suggests that rules and regulations of the classroom would be more likely to be followed if the students have at least some input as to how the classroom is run, and what rules apply. The chapter also describes effective transition, discipline, and other communication methods.
Overall, the majority of the class enjoyed this chapter. The general consensus is that as teachers we must be fully prepared to appeal to all learning styles, and what better to apply the multiple intelligence theory to than management? It seems like classroom management is at the top of everyone’s concerns, and having a way to reach all students and learners is like having an ace in our corner.

Cassie, I enjoyed the link about elements of management; what a cornucopia of useful information and a bountiful surplus of links! I found myself clicking on links, tagging, clicking on links, tagging, and the process kept repeating!
Short and sweet, just the way I like it. :)
You've done a good job and offered tons of links.
Your synthesis was great, it was really concise and had a lot of good information in it. The links were great, especially the one that had links within links within links.
Very good job on your chapter. I loved the great NEA link that you gave.
