An educator convinced of the relevance of MI theory should individualize and pluralize. By individualizing, I mean that the educator should know as much as possible about the intelligences profile of each student for whom he has responsibility; and, to the extent possible, the educator should teach and assess in ways that bring out that child's ca-pacities. By pluralizing, I mean that the educator should decide on which topics, concepts, or ideas are of greatest importance, and should then pres-ent them in a variety of ways. Pluralization achieves two important goals: when a topic is taught in multiple ways, one reaches more students. Addi-tionally, the multiple modes of delivery convey what it means to under-stand something well.
