Multiple Intelligence workshop evokes good response


Indus World School conducted a seminar on Multiple Intelligence on Monday -  20th April. ‘Every child possesses 8 types of intelligence and the right age to tap each of these intelligences is up to the age of 11 to 12 years. Language, Mathematical & Logical, Music, Kinesthetic, Visual / Spatial, Naturalist, Interpersonal and Intrapersonal are the 8 types of Intelligences’ said Mrs. Varsha Rebello, Senior Counselor, Indus World School Group.

Giving a piece of advice, Rebello said that parents should involve themselves with their children during study and also share their academic activities. The parents should always keep a dictionary while interacting with the children as well as be members of library. “Understand the liking of your child and give him/her scope accordingly, “she said. The issues like intelligence of child, its definition, various aspects and long- term effects of these things on children, also came up during the seminar.

   The parents participated in the interaction session and raised questions on the issue of children’s intelligence. Many games were organized in the hall for the entertainment of children.

On the occasion Mrs Namita Parthasarathy, HM of the school said that "IWS is against rote learning. The curriculum is based on play-and-learn methodology for students from Pre-primary to Class II and learning-by-doing for higher classes and curriculum is designed revolving around these intelligences."
