I really had a great time checking out entries for our previous #MultipleIntelligence Tweet Giveaway and I commend the mums who joined for making sure that they develop their children’s multiple intelligence to make them #MultiAchievers.

It really is of utmost importance that we mums endeavor to hone our children’s multiple intelligence to ensure that they grow up to be well-rounded individuals who are equipped with the right smarts to advance further in life. It is important that we not only aim to raise brain smart kids, but also make them body smart, as  well as people smart.

Education does not end in the four corners of the classroom and it is a must that mums foster a “life-long learning” atmosphere at home. Surrounding our children with educational toys, books, arts and crafts materials, as well as other things that can promote learning is a great way to encourage them to continue learning even when they are not in school or when they are on vacation. There are also a number of creative ways to entice children to learn and be hungry for new knowledge and concepts like introducing them to new stuff like Google or bringing them to the park or the museum. Before summer ends I will make sure to bring the little man back too The Mind Museum, he’s been bugging me for ages to go there for another visit.  :-))

For raising body smart kids, an afternoon at the playground can very well be a good start. They can get the much needed exercise while going up and down the swings, the slides, or the monkey bars. Running around the wide open space will also prove to be very beneficial to our little ones’ developing muscles and bodies. As for Jared, his favorite exercises are going for a late afternoon jog around the neighborhood, and of course, swimming for hours on end at our favorite local resort.

In helping our children become people smart, it is best that we expose them to different events and situations where they will meet people of different ages and different walks of life. It is also a must for an only child, like Jared, to be exposed to kids his age. With a winsome personality, plus constant exposure to more people, I am sure my little learner will develop his people smart soon enough.

I was privileged to be invited to Progress Pre-School Gold’s Multiple Intelligence Recognition Day held at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium at the RCBC Plaza recently. It was a great excuse to visit my old workplace and spend the afternoon celebrating and knowing more about Multiple Intelligence. It was also a lovely experience to witness the recognition of the Multiple Intelligence kids.

 

 

 

A sumptuous cocktail feast was prepared for all the guests prior to the event. And as we were ushered inside the auditorium before the Recognition Day started, we were each handed a gold-and-blue toga which we are suppose to wear especially for the occasion. Mums were giddy realizing it has been eons ago since we donned our College toga. The experience was both exciting and nostalgic.

Although K-12 has been in the news ever since it was announced to be implemented here in the Philippines, my knowledge about it is very limited. That is why I readily said yes when I was invited to the recent YTC Blogger Meet-Up, with the theme ~ K-12 Education: How Kids Can Adopt. Now it might take a few more years before the little man experience the effects of the newly-implemented change in the Philippine education system, but it does pay to be in the know and I was hoping I can enlighten a bunch of other mums who are baffled about the issue as I am.

K-12 Education in a nutshell

While most of our neighboring countries, including Brunei, Cambodia, Singapore, and Thailand have an average of 13 years of basic education, the Philippines has the shortest education duration of 10 years among Asian countries. For this reason and in line with the Department of Education {DepEd}’s pursuit to continuously improve the Philippine education system, a major education reform known as the K-12 Curriculum {under Republic Act 10533} was implemented. Under the K-12 Curriculum, Kindergarten is now mandatory for every 5-year old Filipino child, as well as the additional 2 years in the high school or secondary education.

The K-12 Curriculum is geared towards producing holistically-developed Filipinos with 21st Century skills with mid-level skills development and higher education upon graduation, who are ready for employment and entrepreneurship.

K-12 Curriculum graduates are aimed to be equipped with the following skills:

  • Info media and Tech skills
  • Learning and Innovations skills
  • Effective Communication skills
  • Life and Career skills
