Module #3 Hearts and Minds Describe three things you plan to do in your teaching practice to reduce stress and win the Hearts and Minds of your students and co workers. I just want to say that this article described so many of the things I actually do. It made me feel like I am doing a good job establishing those relationships and building emotional connections with my students! The three things I plan to do are things I know I need to do a lot more of. 1. Display pictures of students in the classroom and using cameras more so they can take pictures of themselves. 2. Allowing them to create murals or pictures with themes to express their thinking and creativity. 3. Getting to know all my co-workers more on a personal level, their lives outside of work.

Module #4 Do the Personality Prototype test with another person. Discuss what the results mean. When you Teach you learn. Tell us on this site what you learned by sharing PP Results with another person. I did the Personality Prototype test with my husband. As I imagined he is a learned expert. It was very interesting to explain to him what the gifts, conflicts and needs of this personality type are and to be able to explain how we react to certain things based on our personality. I was also able to show him the elements and qualities of my main personality type. What I felt I got the most benefit from was being able to have a personal conversation about what makes us different, and the positive or negative impact this can have depending on how much we understand about each other.
