The Gallup Organization has studied human behavior for more than 70 years with a goal to help organizations and individuals maximize their performance. This resulted in the design of an instrument and accompanying talent development program that is referred to as StrengthsQuest. The testing instrument - Clifton Strengths Finder - consists of 180 paired comparison items that are classified into 34 groupings or themes.

Prior to this workshop you will have an opportunity to complete the online Strengths Finder profile survey to discover your top five themes of talent. In the workshop you will explore your results and learn how to recognize and appreciate the unique talents and strengths of others and consider how these can be used in your work.

Come prepared to learn and have some fun!

Teaching large classes is particularly challenging physically and psychologically for both teachers and students. For faculty, it is not enough to just talk louder, write bigger or make grandiose gestures. For students, it may mean feeling part of a potentially faceless, undifferentiated mass.

Learn practical strategies to help both you and your students cope with large class situations.
