The concept of multiple intelligence

Burdening children with lessons, projects, examinations may soon be replaced with children's interest of learning by exploring the Multiple Intelligence(MI) latent in them. MI theory instils in students the ability and conviction to realise their full potential to excel.

A team of four members from the MI school, key Learning Community, Indianapolis conducted the workshop at Inventure Academy in Bangalore where teachers were taught about concept of MI, which would be further taught in the class-rooms to enable children to learn with their individual styles. The MI theory identifies children's varied strengths among these intelligence, to stimulate and enhance learning according to their individual styles.

For example if a student is good in music and not in maths, MI helps the students to utilise the music skills to learn maths. In the same manner, utilising children's interests in learning the curriculum is what MI is all about. Various theories are applied to explore the children's MI.

One of the founder members of MI school said'MI is all about intrinsic intelligence which can be applied in the learning process and makes learning interesting to children'.

Children can now look forward to school where they wouldn't be overburdened by the curriculum.
