Only Educative people should become Teachers: Steve
Jiva Education Director, Steven Paul Rudolph was recently invited to be the chief guest at the inauguration of the Multiple Intelligences Festival in Amritsar. An initiative by Primary Plus Newspaper, the event was held at the DAV International School and attended by hundreds of educators, parents and students. It served as a great platform for individuals to understand the values and benefits of Multiple Intelligences and Multiple Natures in education.

In his message to the audience, Steven Paul talked about ‘the qualities of an educator’ in detail. According to him, even though you can teach somebody how to become a teacher, the ‘educative’ tendency is inborn. He urged educational managers to take in teachers who have a strong Educative Nature (one of the nine Multiple Natures) in them.

Addressing students, Steven Paul said kids who have Educative Nature should not shy away from exploring the avenues available to them. He said, many students today feel ‘teaching’ is the only option available for ‘educative individuals’ and they do not want to get into this field as it will greatly limit their earning capacity. However, the reality is, there are other choices such as Business Trainers, Counsellors, Motivational Speakers, Journalists, etc. that could be viable professions for such individuals. Not just that, Steven Paul also cited the example of Shiv Khera, Robin Sharma, Deepak Chopra and several successful tuition instructors who are earning lakhs of rupees by making the most of their Educative Nature.

During his interaction with students, Steven Paul gave several anecdotes about people who had left lucrative corporate positions in order to take up jobs in education. His sentiments were echoed by Mr. Pravin Mane, the Head of AniGuru (an animation company), who was at the event as a speaker. Pravin had left his engineering job to pursue his interest in instructional animation, thereby reiterating the importance of following one’s nature.

Jiva Sanskar Mela – An MI-MN Fair all the way
The Sanskar Mela organised at Jiva Public School on the occasion of Children’s Day was a big hit with students, parents, and visitors. More than 2000 people flocked the Jiva premises for a day of fun and frolic, played games, enjoyed cultural programmes and savoured Indian and continental food.

The best part about the fair was its connection to the concepts of Multiple Natures and Multiple Intelligences. The students and teachers of Jiva Public School were assigned duties based on their MIs and MNs, which were mentioned on their badges. For example, the students in the Customer Service Team were the ones strong in Providing Nature; the Event Management Team was made up of students with strong Administrative Natures; and, the students at the ticket counter were Entrepreneurial in nature.

All in all, the event was an excellent way to demonstrate how natures connect to work and to jobs. And the results were clear: the entire show ran like clockwork. Everything was well organized, there were no squabbles, and there was no litter to be found anywhere.

When people’s natures and energies are properly channelized, you wind up with a winning atmosphere. We hope more schools adopt the MN concept for organizing their events and see the difference it can makes to people’s mindsets and working styles.

Each student has certain innate abilities that need to be identified and leveraged by his parents and teachers.
