Howard Gardner redefined intelligence:
There is no single measure of intelligence.
Each person possesses a spectrum of intelligences that are combined and used in personal ways.
Intelligences evolve with development and application.Slide6
Thomas Armstrong
“Every person has genius. That doesn’t mean that
everone
can paint like Picasso, compose like Mozart, or score 150 on an I.Q. test. every child is a genius
"genius," means: "to give birth” and "to be zestful or joyous,”.
the real meaning of genius is to "give birth to the joy" that is within everyone. Every child is born with that capacity. Each child comes into life with wonder, curiosity, awe, spontaneity, vitality, flexibility, and many other characteristics of a joyous being.
Young children have vivid imaginations, creative minds, and sensitive personalities. It is imperative that we, help preserve these genius characteristics as they mature into adulthood, so those capacities can be made available to the broader culture at a time of incredible change.”Slide7
