Each human being is unique and unrepeatable, therefore, their talent is also unique. Each person has their own abilities, all of which are equally valuable. The psychologist's theory Howard Gardner on multiple intelligences is fully topical. Thanks to this vision, each human being can increase his development potential from the cultivation of those capacities in which he excels.
As well as Daniel Goleman opened a new door thanks to the development of his vision on emotional intelligence, in the same way, this theory is totally constructive by not looking at the human being in a reductionist way. Each human being has his own personal vocation and, without a doubt, this theory conforms to the idea of a possible happiness based on his own individual development. There are no talents more important than others. However, mathematical logical intelligence has long overshadowed other talents from the standpoint of social brilliance.
Education in diversity is one of the pillars of an educational system that offers a personalized response to the individual needs of students. A system that inspires self-esteem, personal development and overcoming. Each human being is called to be the best version of himself but from his own personal fulfillment, that is, not by comparison with others. From this point of view, the teacher is a knowledge mentor.
