Genius is often misunderstood as ‘being blessed’ or ‘being different.’ So, how many times you have characterized Albert Einstein or Warren Buffett as ‘different? Do you know the steps to cultivate ‘genius’ have very less to do with inherent talent and more to do with ‘ways to cultivate’ it? Various cognitive psychology studies have indicated that it is possible to alter the basic aspect of intelligence, and even intelligence itself through training and guidance.
Let’s explore how KPS- one of the best CBSE schools in Ghaziabad is formulating interesting ways to cultivate a creative mindset among their students.
What is the basic characteristic of genius?
Here are ways to activate creativity & genius mode in students:
Here are few ways, which we use for developing a creative pursuit in our students:
- Exemplify a genius mindset for students
- Give more importance to the process- and not correct responses
For all the practical subjects we teach, we encourage our students to focus more on the correct process and not correct responses so that they understand the correct process of learning. When they follow the process correctly, they eventually find the correct answers too.
- Value mistakes and perseverance
In the end, you need to consider genius as not only a mindset but a behaviour that allows students to reprogram their minds and consider failure as ‘normal.’ If they want to be genius, they have to ‘willing’ to fail, persevere, and learn to focus on the learning process. They have to be ‘different’ in order to creative- and that makes them special and successful in life.
