Multiple Intelligences in Training
August 27, 2015
If we cannot disconnect, we cannot lead. Creating the culture of burnout is opposite to creating a culture of sustainable creativity.

Howard Gardner, best known for his theory of multiple intelligences, was interviewed in Brain World magazine (Spring 2015) and asked how might liberal arts colleges encourage different intelligences? Gardner responded...
"Two ingredients are helpful:
1) teachers' awareness that students can learn important material in a variety of ways, and these should be drawn upon as appropriate to teach a range of students;
2) learners themselves should be aware of how they learn best and seek environments (and teachers and curricula) that best address their strengths and help them to negotiate their weaknesses."

It is ironic or probably more accurately fortuitous that this is today’s snippet. I’ve been struggling with society’s casual use of the word smart. A guidance counselor yesterday: “(Your son) is smarter than the rest of the kids in these classes but I want him to have success this year”. A common social media post yesterday: “If you are the smartest person in the room…you are in the wrong room”. Why am I so offended by the casual use of the word smart? My reaction to the social media post was: with so many different intelligences, how is this measured?
I understood the point and the poster elaborated, “If you have nothing left to learn…it’s time to move forward.” I agree. Where I dissent is in the assumption that one person is “smarter” than another. Are they smarter in multiplying and dividing polynomials? How about in memorizing or regurgitating historical data? Is it in appreciating and composing music or artistic appreciation or abilities? How about holding a larger and varied vocabulary—as my son does? That doesn’t make him smarter than the artist or the mathematician. I think to embrace the theory of multiple intelligences, we need to let go of antiquated concepts of smart or not-smart.
