Compilation of a montage of observable actions which demonstrate each of the intelligences

Admissions to nursery in school has gone down for two years ....we put our heads together ,do some research on the reasons which has led to the decline. We demonstrate creative thinking, see solutions to problems, innovate, deviate from set paths, recognize opportunities and take advantage of them......an excellent demonstration of Strategic Intelligence .

Organizing a school fair by putting together diverse groups of students and staff , providing opportunities for multilingual dialogue and improving cross cultural communication skills, taking school students on a trip to a tribal area or on a student exchange program.....Cultural Intelligence

Pedagogical Intelligence aptly demonstrated when creating developmentally appropriate lessons , adapting material to the needs of specific students, using multiple ways to represent ideas and concepts.

Interactions between employees on an out reach programme filled with activities and games meant to foster empathy, collaboration, team work are embodiments of developing Relational Intelligence.

Doing things that scare oneself, being curious about the unknown, taking responsibility to learn new things and do things differently, viewing problems as a challenge and setting goals constantly all point out to an Entrepreneurial intelligence.

Reviewing a project through a different lens, critically analyzing each aspect , going over the weak points, thinking differently about the things that went right effectively show a Reflective intelligence.

School dispersal time, buses have not yet arrived to carry students home, technical glitches in the public address system......It is the Heuristic Intelligence that spurs the on the spot decisions taken and relayed effectively to each other to complete the task in best possible way without having the luxury of a well thought out plan .

Which intelligence is the most challenging to demonstrate?

I feel Reflective intelligence is the most challenging to demonstrate as it is not objective in its very nature and depends very much on the emotional state of person at different times

• Which intelligence comes most naturally to you? How do you know?

Heuristic intelligence is what occurs most naturally to me. I am mostly naturally inclined to think in a solution oriented way and my reflexes spur me to focus all my energy to the task/problem at hand rather than overanalyzing the why and how of it.

Which intelligences do you value in others? Why?

I most certainly appreciate deeply and value the Reflective and Entrepreneurial intelligence in others, primarily because I find myself somewhat lacking in these intelligences and I aspire to achieve them through effort and will.

• Which intelligence is least familiar to you? Why?

I find myself least familiar with Cultural Intelligence . The journey of my life from childhood to date has been on the beaten path mostly and I have not had much first hand exposure to a wide range of diversity in terms of cultural traditions and social standing. I do , however enjoy reading or listening to tales of people belonging to diverse groups of culture in terms of race , educational levels or work .

Is there anything you would add to the following intelligence: Strategic, Cultural, Pedagogical, Relational, Entrepreneurial, Reflective, and Heuristic.

I am yet to delve deeply into each of these types of leadership intelligence.

Thanks and regards.

QI. Which intelligence comes most naturally to you? How do you know?

Ans-Actually as a leader I would associate myself to a balanced combination of all the seven intelligences and various skills based on a particular scenario of a situation. To be more specific I find that reflective intelligence comes naturally to me. I have a strong inclination towards introspection and learning from experiences. As a leader, I utilize reflective intelligence to understand the diverse perspectives and needs of my team. By actively listening and reflecting on their feedback, I tailor my guidance to support my team members. This approach not only strengthens our relationships but also cultivates a supportive and inclusive community within our school. By leveraging this strength, I am committed to making meaningful contributions and driving positive change within our school community.

QII. Which intelligences do you value in others? Why?

Ans. I place significant value on a diverse range of intelligences among my team members, each contributing uniquely to our collective success and growth. While all forms of intelligence are essential, but according to me Strategic intelligence stands out to foster a dynamic and effective team environment. Strategic intelligence encompasses the ability to think ahead, plan effectively, and align actions with long-term goals and objectives. This intelligence is crucial in our efforts to navigate challenges, capitalize on opportunities, and achieve sustainable success in our endeavours.

QIII. Which intelligence is the most challenging to demonstrate?

Ans. Demonstrating heuristic intelligence can be particularly challenging because it involves applying practical wisdom and experience-based judgment rather than relying solely on formal rules or procedures. According to me sometimes balancing heuristic intelligence along with adhering to various policies and regulations becomes challenging.

QIV. Write open questions that would explore each of the intelligences.

Ans. Some of open questions, designed to delve into each of the intelligences are:

1. What strategies do you use to encourage reflection among staff and students to enhance their learning and personal growth?

2. How do you build and maintain positive relationships with students, staff, parents, and other stakeholders within the school community?

3. What strategies do you employ to ensure that school policies and practices respect and reflect the cultural backgrounds and identities of students and staff?

4. What strategies do you employ to ensure that school policies and practices respect and reflect the cultural backgrounds and identities of students and staff?

QV. Keeping in mind Cultural intelligence , how do you balance diverse cultural expectations in the service of achieving the school vision?

Ans. We should ensure that resources, opportunities, and support are equitably distributed among all students, regardless of their cultural or socioeconomic background. This helps in addressing disparities and promoting a fair and just learning environment.

We can also develop protocols for resolving conflicts that may arise due to cultural misunderstandings. This includes having trained mediators who can facilitate constructive dialogue and help find mutually acceptable solutions.

We can implement policies and practices that promote inclusivity and respect for diversity within the school community. This could include celebrating cultural holidays, incorporating diverse perspectives into the curriculum, and ensuring that school events are inclusive of all cultural backgrounds.

Strategic Leadership

Q1)Manage resources to respond to changing needs and improve whole school outcomes?

-Strategic Leadership intelligence – the ability to develop, lead and manage school strategy

Strategic thinking involves collaboratively establishing and creating alignment to a shared vision, recognizing emerging trends, developing school strategy and effectively managing change within the school.

Managing resources effectively has always been a part of my role as a vice-principal.

-Leveraging Technology and Innovation:

Recognizing the potential of technology, we introduced various digital tools to enhance learning. We adopted platforms that facilitated interactive and engaging classes, ensuring continuity in education.

-Promoting a Culture of Continuous Improvement:

We implemented a feedback loop where teachers, students, and parents could continuously provide feedback on the teaching and learning sessions. This allowed us to make real-time adjustments and improvements.

Pedagogical Leadership

Q2) Holding teachers to account by articulating SMART goals and motivating them to achieve them

-Specific Goals:

I work closely with each teacher to set specific goals that align with our school’s mission and the IB philosophy. For example, a goal might be, “Integrate at least three new formative assessment strategies into your classroom practices by the end of the term.”

-Measurable Outcomes:

To ensure these goals are measurable, we identify clear indicators of success. For the formative assessment goal, this might include tracking student engagement and performance metrics through regular observations and feedback sessions.

-Achievable Targets:

I collaborate with teachers to set realistic and achievable targets. This involves understanding their current workload and capabilities, and providing the necessary support and resources to help them succeed.

-Relevant Objectives:

Goals are aligned with both school-wide priorities and individual teacher development plans. Ensuring relevance helps teachers see the value in their goals and how achieving them contributes to their professional growth and student success.

-Time-Bound Goals:

We establish clear deadlines to maintain focus and momentum. For example, the formative assessment strategies goal might have a deadline of the end of the term, with check-ins at regular intervals to monitor progress.

By setting SMART goals and creating a supportive, collaborative environment, I aim to hold teachers accountable in a way that is motivating and empowering.

Reflective Leadership

Q3) Continually reflect on your leadership style and the impact your leadership is having on others

-Self-Assessment and Feedback:

I maintain a leadership journal where I document my experiences, decisions, and their outcomes. Reflecting on these entries helps me understand the impact of my actions and consider how I might approach similar situations differently in the future.

-Spiritutal Development:

I participate in spiritual development workshops focused on leadership skills. These sessions provide new perspectives and strategies, which I then reflect on and integrate into my practice.

Q4)Listen to others and gather information to help solve problems

-Open-Door Policy: I maintain an open-door policy to encourage teachers, students, and parents to share their concerns and ideas. Being accessible and approachable helps build trust and ensures I’m aware of issues as they arise.

-Active Listening: During conversations, I practice active listening, ensuring that I fully understand the perspectives being shared. This involves summarizing what I’ve heard and asking clarifying questions to avoid misunderstandings.

-Data Analysis: I analyze data from various sources, such as academic performance reports, attendance records, and behavioral logs. This quantitative information complements the qualitative insights gathered from conversations and surveys, helping to paint a complete picture of the issues at hand.

Q5)Question assumptions to find creative ways forward

-Encouraging Innovation: I foster a culture of innovation by encouraging teachers and staff to propose new ideas and pilot creative solutions. This not only leads to potential improvements but also empowers staff to take ownership of school development.

-Reflective Practice: By incorporating regular reflection into my routine, I’m able to critically examine my assumptions and their impact on decision-making. This reflexive approach helps me stay open to change and fosters a culture of continuous improvement.

Through these strategies, I aim to embody reflective intelligence, ensuring that my leadership is responsive, innovative, and grounded in the needs and aspirations of our school community.

On a closer introspection of my inner self, I probably possess a blend of all kinds of leadership mentioned in the think piece. Probably I lean a little more on Heuristic Leadership ( does it mean I am Jack of all leaderships; master of none?)

Heuristic Leadership comes naturally to me. Given a problematic situation , I immediately work on the best possible solution to fix it, rather than dissecting it as to who? what? when? how? etc. about it. ( The timely solutions have been effective.)

I feel we can include Laissez - Faire leadership style wherein our team members should be trained to take decisions in the absence of the head of the organisation. This way the next in line successors can be identified and trained.

I need to focus on strengthening and honing strategic and entrepreneurial leadership . For which I need to build up my innovative abililies

Thank You!!

My responses are in a nutshell and concise.

As a leader, reflecting on ALL the 7 intelligences will help me with effective leadership practices.

STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE will help foresee the future needs of the school. This will involve balancing immediate needs with future aspirations.

REFLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE is all about self-awareness and self- evaluation and learning from past mistakes.

RELATIONAL INTELLIGENCE is about building and maintaining strong, positive relationships with all stakeholders.

ENTREPRENEURIAL INTELLIGENCE involves innovation, risk taking and resourcefulness.

PEADAGOGICAL INTELLIGENCE involves staying informed about the latest effective teaching practices and supporting teachers in professional development.

HEURISTIC INTELLIGENCE involves taking decisions under pressure.

CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE involves creating an environment where all cultural perspectives are valued and integrated into the school’s practices and policies.

I need to focus more on HEURISTIC intelligence and ENTREPRENEURIAL intelligence.

Q. To what extent do you lead, facilitate and promote a collaborative professional culture in the faculty?

ANS. I create an environment among the faculty where we all work together towards common goals. I encourage everyone to share their best ideas, resources, and feedback openly, which builds trust and a strong sense of responsibility among us.

Q. To what extent do you model, promote and develop positive, respectful relationships within the school and wider community?

ANS. I lead by example, consistently demonstrating respect, empathy, and active listening in all interactions with students, staff, and parents.

Q. To what extent do you continually reflect on your leadership style and the impact your leadership is having on others?

ANS. By regularly seeking feedback from colleagues and engaging in self-assessment, I stay aware of how my actions and decisions influence the school community. This ongoing reflection enables me to adapt my leadership approach to better meet the needs of my school.

Q.To what extent do you demonstrate that you are open to new opportunities as they arise?

ANS . I encourage staff and students to welcome change and try new things. I regularly attend AECED workshops to stay updated on the latest in preschool education. I keep open communication with colleagues, students, parents, and the community to stay aware of new opportunities that fit my school's goals. This helps me bring in new ideas in the teaching learning process.

Q. To what extent do you regularly articulate and promote a vision for the school’s future in collaboration with the school community?

ANS. I often talk and keep reminding my staff about the school's vision and goals in meetings and events, making sure everyone knows and supports what we want to achieve. I encourage teachers to share their ideas and thoughts so that our vision can change and stay meaningful over time.
