There are many ways for educators to introduce the theory of multiple intelligences to children, for example, some teachers have created MI songs or MI art projects. Even young children can easily grasp the concept of “being smart in different ways.”
This is an article aimed at 7-11 year olds from the magazine, Eureka Explorers. It was written by Dr. Valsa Koshy of Brunel Able Children’s Education Center at Brunel University, London. She checked with a group of children to make sure the concept was easily understandable for the targeted age. Eureka Explorers is distributed free to schools in the West London area. The articles and activities included in the magazine are based on their “Triangle of Success Model” with the the three points being:
Gifts, talents and passions (developing and nurturing abilities and interests)
Physical and mental well-being (healthy eating, exercise, confidence and resilience)
Learning and outlook (nurturing a positive attitude to learning and future success)
