Feb. 27-Mar. 9
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.

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?

Think back to that person whom you consider to be the best teacher you ever had.
How do you remember that teacher? What kind of influence do you feel that teacher had on your learning? Why do you think you still remember him/her?

What Do Great Teachers Do Differently?

So, join us on a journey through Teach With Your Strengths by Rosanne Liesveld and Jo Ann Miller to discover how we can all uncover the great teacher within!
