Broadening the Definition of Intelligence in Design and Technology Curriculum

Talking D&T

Send me a message.

This week I'm talking with Alex, artist and lecturer in environmental design, and Sam, the design and technology curriculum lead at Oak National Academy.
Alex's research, presented at PATT40, is the starting point of the conversation. He focuses on the often-overlooked non-verbal intelligences and offers a fresh perspective on how we might better assess different cognitive strengths.
