Schools need to change if we are to teach students according to MI theory because many intelligences are not developed or involved in the average school. In an MI school there would be a looser structure to the way students learn. There would be a lot more inquiry and discussion and more creative ways to present the topics. There would be an Assessment specialist who would be able to provide parents, teachers and students with an overview of the student's strengths and weaknesses in assessment and provide suggestions on how the student should be assessed that would provide the best picture of what he/she knows. There would also be a student curriculum broker would would advise the student in class selection then aid teachers in how best to teach the subject to the students. In addition, there would also be a student community broker who would advise the student in activities outside the school - linking them with people and places that would help them learn using their MI strengths. It is important that students have regular instruction in all eight intelligences and that they experience it all with a familiar group of students called a "pod". "Pods" are important because students create strong bonds both with other students and the subjects. Obviously a school like this would be difficult to pull off without finical support which, right now, is hard to come by.
