MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE
Building Character & Competence
Through Multiple Intelligence
Leader in Me® is a whole-school transformation model and process developed in partnership with educators that empowers students with the leadership and life skills they need to thrive in the 21st century. The program aligns with Glendale Education’s belief in the powerful premise that every child possesses unique strengths and has the ability to be a leader.
Glendale Education inculcates Stephen Covey’s Leader in Me programme into its curriculum through the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. Students and staff learn to use a common language and build an understanding of how to work effectively, independently and interdependently, in all aspects of life, not just at school.

Be Proactive
We embolden students to take charge and assume responsibilities in various simulated real-life scenarios that highlight global issues and help boost their inter-personal dynamics.
Logical Mathematical
Critical thinking skills are enhanced through problem solving, classifying and categorising information, working with abstract concepts to figure out the relationships, handling long chains of reason to make local progressions, doing controlled experiments, questioning and wondering about natural events, performing complex mathematical calculations, working with geometric shapes.
Naturalistic
One’s interdependent relationship with flora and fauna in the natural eco-system around us can be explored through camping, nature walks, bird watching, nurturing, learning about species and exploring the environment. Through this, students understand that nature nurtures, and learn how to reduce, reuse and recycle, and live in harmony with nature.
Intrapersonal
Self-reflection of one’s strengths and weaknesses is important as is being aware of one’s inner state of being. Evaluation of one’s thinking patterns and understanding one’s role in the world can be developed by yoga, meditation and development of personal skills.
Visual Spatial
The visual arts expands creativity with exposure through photography, understanding charts and graphs, imagination, sketching, painting, creating visual metaphors and analogies, manipulating images, constructing, fixing, designing practical objects, interpreting visual images.
Musical
A ‘Rhythmic mind’ is developed by singing, whistling, playing musical instruments, recognizing tonal patterns, remembering melodies, understanding the structure and rhythm of both classical and contemporary music.
Bodily Kinesthetic
Beginning with the control of automatic and voluntary movement and progressing to using the body in highly differentiated ways – the skillful manipulation of one’s body or an object requires an acute sense of timing and direction, as well as the ability to transform an intention into action.
Interpersonal
Social intelligence is developed through group dynamics, using empathy, understanding other people’s moods and feelings, counselling, co-operating with groups, noticing people’s moods, motivations and intentions, peaceful conflict resolution and establishing positive relations with other people.
