Now that you have had time to take the StrengthsFinder survey, what do you think?  Were you surprised by your results?  Be sure to post your strengths outside your classroom door.

As you take the next couple of weeks to read chapter 4, take time to not only understand your own strengths and what role they play for you and your students, but also get "reacquainted" with your colleagues as you peruse their strengths.

Feb. 20-24

Take the StrengthsFinder assessment at sf1.strengthsfinder.com.  It will be interesting to see the variety of strengths that make up your team! 

Feb. 13-17

Take this week to read chapter 3!

Feb. 6-10

In chapter 2 we learned that talents aren't necessarily abilities, nor are they strengths.  They are an aspect of one's psychology and personality.  Strengths are based on our talents, but also involve skill and knowledge.  "It's only when talent, knowledge, and skill are combined that they become a strength" (p. 56).

What is a strength you feel you possess, and how is that strength underscored by your talent, knowledge, and skills?

What did you find most intriguing about chapter 2?
