Concepts to develop a multiple-intelligence-intelligent mutiplied is then brought into the world of education (to school) and into the household. But the concept and theory of multiple intelligences to funnel more of the world's leading children and students at the school. For they deliberately designed a variety of programs, training or training is accompanied by a myriad of recipes how so they can have a multiple-intelligence into the younger generation that has multiplied in the hope that intelligent life will be beautiful, easy and far from nervous.

Implement and direct the funnel concept of multiple intelligence education to students in schools can be regarded as an appropriate step. But this policy is not balanced if his own teachers do not have multiple brains. How teachers can apply a lot like his role as educator, motivator, counselor, and others-if they do not have the brains regression.

How is the reality about the quality of teachers and their multiple intelligence concept at many schools? whether they already have kepintarasn double or even that they only have mediocre abilities just as a teacher (?).

In many schools, teachers generally have only a single intelligence, that is merely just mastered their subjects. Teachers that this is the reality most of the teachers. Students see teachers such as teacher mediocrity. Motivation they provide to students was also mediocre. But if there are teachers who have some brains, in addition to mastering the field of study, is also proficient in other ways, such as smart speeches, smart computers and the Internet, personal warmth, etc., then the teacher would have such a special place in the hearts of their students .

Teachers with multiple intelligence as mentioned earlier seems to be labeled as professional teachers or qualified teachers. They are teachers who have a cognitive character-intelligent, smart and intelligent affektifnya psikomotoriknya. Teachers who like this certainly is very pleasant, but of course their population is not much. But every teacher-if there is motivation, desire and effort so of course they can-must be a special teachers for their students. .

Some teachers, like the youth, there are also trapped into the culture of instant-culture that wants quick results can be obtained by multi-bearaktifitas little but want to get results quickly and thankfully large. Instant culture course must be shunned, and so also with other cultures such as the culture-mind thinking like a floating-floating, happy to do engineering culture, race fever cultural performances, cultural fever take goods on credit, fever gossip culture, culture of origin ABS-father happy, culture authoritarian and likes to rave until the culture of hedonism - kesukaaan to seek pleasure through and through. These points are probably more a reflection on the phenomenon in our education.

Why reflection on the phenomenon could be among friends one of the educators (?). Perhaps this phenomenon occurs due to a mental attitude, or attitude from the beginning.

Formerly a teacher so easy and simple. If the quota of teachers is still less then the quota can be inserted and can be ordered over the memo that people in power in atas.maka terjaringlah that some teachers are not the right man on the right place. Ultimately the rise of the teachers like the phenomena mentioned above-namely the lack of teachers and berbudayafloating critical thinking, creativity poor, cultured instant, and others.

Response from the younger generation also determine the existence and quality of teachers. Still, in many schools students classified as clever at first reluctant to choose careers as teachers of their ideals. If there rose only to a handful of students only. It was caused by faktor'X ", such as for economic reasons a parent, or that do not need to laboriously search of work.

Generally, students who are classified as smart with the economic level of more established parents choosing non-educational university located in Java. Their choice for this category fell on teachers' career choice to many. So consequently the quality of teachers in general tends to mediocrity. Is a boon since employment opportunities are becoming harder and become a Civil Servant (PNS) to be ideal for some students at the university, because civil servants have given the lure of good living, there is money and money side dishes tujada (local benefits), then those who non-formal educational studies at the University turned the bow to attack the deed of educational programs that can later apply to become a teacher. Of course this is a personal right of every citizen.

Now teachers must have a paradigm, how to be dignified and professional teachers. This paradigm could be achieved if they develop themselves. They, for example, must be thought to have multiple intelligences, because of multiple intelligences also deserves to be held by the teachers.

Is not a wise choice when only students are asked and attempted to develop themselves to have multiple brains. While teachers have allowed just a single intelligence or not smart at all as a teacher.

Bobi De Porter (2002), with his book Quantum Teaching, the educator has given inspiration on how to have multiple intelligence's. He said that the person (or teacher) who has the intelligence to be retained or has multiple fields: art, language, interpersonal, music, natural, Body, intrapersonal and logical.

To implement the concept of multiple intelligence for themselves then every teacher needs to have a sense of art-a sense of art, developing proficiency in oral and written. They need to engage in intercourse, has an extensive friends, joined the organization, and conduct correspondence.

Development of multiple intelligence, other two being for the field of natural. They must understand the principle of "go back to the nature" has a sense of caring for nature and the environment. They need to do for recreation and natural to feel how God's creation is so beautiful and refreshing. Then each teacher needs to have a fit body, they need to exercise to sweat so that the heart and lungs are always healthy. To complement the concept of multiple intelligence to other interpersonal points, then they need to do-merenungan contemplation about the advantages and disadvantages of self, and develop positive attitudes. Then they also need mengembamgkan logic capabilities.

Implementing the concept of multiple intelligence - intelligent mutliplied really very useful for self-development and for that this concept should be implemented now, not to "wait until tomorrow comes. In connection with the concept of multiple intelligence development, Agus Nggermanto (2003) also provides sedikip recipes. He said that to have multiple brains then everyone (teachers) need to implement the concept of multiple intelligence. It includes three elements, namely intelligent quotient, emotional quotient and spiritual quotient, or intelligence, emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence.

Include elements of logical intelligence (math) and linguistic (verbal or language). Emotional intelligence includes the elements of interpersonal and intrapersonal. While the spiritual intelligence is how to live and to serve themselves - to the creator-worship (the creator) of this.

After understanding the concept of multiple intelligence, they also need to develop positive character character-like character like positive thinking. People of Indonesian education, Ki Hajar Dewantoro, we have inherited the concept to have multiple brains, recipe quite sederhada namely: intermediate Mangun karso ing, ing ngarso sung tulodo, tutwuri handayani. If now many invitations to come to the teachers need to change themselves to become teachers in a dignified and professional teachers, then one form to become a teacher so is through the concept of self-development become the educators with Ingenuity regression.
