MI Chapter 11

This chapter talks about how students should only be looked at for their positives in a special education setting. Having the special students demonstrate clarity of the work they are doing and understanding by only using one intelligence is fair to use as evidence because the student can produce better work while working with that intelligence. This at least shows you that the student has some evidence of knowledge. I found the list of famous people with disabilities and was shocked to find so many names I know. These people overcame there boundaries probably by focusing on what they could do rather then what they couldn’t.. This chapter uses the term cognitive bypassing. This term means that students somewhat ignore tasks being presented in another task to focus on using the one task that you can use the most. Use the best intelligence to get the best result.
