Title
Seth Boyden Demonstration School PTA
Description
Named for an important inventor and prominent citizen of nineteenth-century Newark, Seth Boyden is one of six elementary schools in the School District of South Orange and Maplewood.
In 1999, Seth Boyden was selected to be the kindergarten thru fifth grade demonstration school for the entire district and introduced an innovative approach to curriculum delivery, based on the Principles of Multiple Intelligences.
Familiar ideas about intelligence focus on skills relating to language and mathematics. The concept of Multiple Intelligences as articulated by Howard Gardner of Harvard University recognizes other ways of being intelligent--in such activities as relating to each other, knowing ourselves, and expressing ourselves through art, music and movement. Thus, the Seth Boyden Demonstration School (SBDS) is an individual-centered school that takes this multifaceted view of intelligence seriously.
