Why do some children fit their school environment better than others? What steps can teachers take to maximize the social, emotional, and academic health of their students? Classroom teachers learn how to recognize student personality dimensions of introversion or extroversion, sensing or intuition, feeling or thinking, and judging or perceiving. Based on the Murphy-Meisgeier Type Indicator for Children® and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® for adults, the session shows how to design social and academic expectations and opportunities according to a child’s personality. When gifted students are understood and allowed to go with their strengths, they are more likely to thrive.
