The testing instrument – Clifton StrengthsFinder - 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 StrengthsFinder 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 StrengthsQuest can be used in your classroom.

Despite all the time and effort we put into writing comments on our students’ assignments, we often hear back from them that we don’t supply them with sufficient or helpful feedback.

Come to this session and learn how employing a colour coded approach in grading can help focus students on their strengths and weaknesses and facilitate time management for teachers facing growing numbers of students in their classes.
