My Definition of Intelligence

1. What is your definition of intelligence?

My definition of intelligence is the ability to acquire new information, use that information in beneficial ways, and retain that knowledge for future use.

2. How will that impact how you interact with and talk about your students?

 Everyone has intelligence. The ability may vary in different areas, but everyone has the ability to increase their knowledge and intelligence. I intend to focus on what students can do and what students can learn rather than limitations. A student may have difficulty learning a concept, but the problem is often an issue with the teacher, not the student. I intend to teach concepts in a variety of way that can engage the students using as many of the five senses as I can.
