Curriculum In Focus

Awareness Through Education #6 Multiple Intelligences 

If you asked your child/ren to identify ‘smart’ people, who would they pick? Classmates who are good at reading, writing and maths? Scientists? Mathematicians?

There is often a misconception that intelligence is limited to the core subjects, but in actual fact there are many more forms of it. 

Sometimes when a student has a negative perception of themselves and thinks they are ‘dumb’, I use the visual attached. It’s powerful and demonstrates that there are many forms of intelligence, all equal in importance. 

Take the chance to have a discussion surrounding intelligence with your child/ren:

• What makes someone smart?
• Do you see yourself as a ‘smart’ student? Why/why not?
• What are you good at and do you see that as a form of intelligence?
• What do you notice about the multiple intelligences visual? 

Thank you
