Dear all,
I've been reading this book and literally, cannot stop nodding as I go through the pages. This is a VERY inspiring book for teachers and parents. I learn a lot of things from it (even from the cover).
After I joined the DISC training, I sometimes wonder how to really put DISC in the real classroom situation. Although I took notes of DR. Rohm's amazing insights in understanding children, I always felt that it's not enough. Reading this book felt like having his insights whenever I want them.
This book also has a parenting section which is very beneficial for teachers to understand parents and at the same time to understand how to talk to them about their child.
Let me share with you a page that has been a reminder for me in my teaching experience.
Final Food for Thought....
Is it important to adapt and adjust my teaching style to meet the needs of all my students?
if you are a "D" teacher and only use your "D" qualities to teach, you will successfully teach 10% of your class and leaving behind 90% of your students.
If you are an "I" teacher and use only your "I" qualities to teach, you will successfully teach 25-30% of your class, leaving behind 70-75% of your students.
If you are an "S" teacher and use only your "S" qualities to teach, you will successfully teach 30-35% of your class, leaving behind 65-70% of your students.
If you are an "C" teacher and use only your "C" qualities to teach, you will successfully teach 20-25% of your class, leaving behind 75-80% of your students.
So, these numbers made a huge impact on my teaching styles, to always adapt and adjust. Every child is special and unique. No one was supposed to be left behind.
Thanks for reading.
