Temperament Testing
Today in class (freshman academy) the students took a temperament testing called the Keirsey Sorter. The students had to answer 70 A/B answers and then it gave them a report of their personality, and learning environments. It related to some of the power tools that we learned in SURN because each report gave the student a tip for success and many of the suggestions were ideas like, "summarize the main ideas (golden lines)." "Study in groups by talking" (reciporical teaching), Write key definitions (Frayer Method). They students thought is was amazing that a test could tell them so much about themselves.

I gave a similar test at the beginning of the year to my scholars kids and I think it really helped. Sometimes they just need to know that they don't have to be carbon copies of each other and its okay to be a little different. 2 weeks til break can you make it?
