Staff Development

One Caring Adult™ has developed an exclusive series of trainings for educators and and school communities, offered with a multi-tiered approach. Each level of training builds upon the previous level to provide a consistent strategy with consistent results. All of our programs focus on meeting needs and building strengths - a proven recipe for success!

Foundation Level

Differentiated Learning for Educators
"Differentiated Instruction" is all the buzz, but in order to teach to individual students educators must first have an understanding of each individual student's strengths. This learning experience provides an opportunity for educators to explore and apply the concepts of temperament, personality type, learning styles and muliple intelligences.

A Strengths-Based Approach
The more we focus on strengths and the positive, the more our students will thrive. This learning experience provides school communities with an overview of the core models that shift our thinking to what's right instead of what's wrong.

Intermediate Level

Personality Type & Teaching
Before one can effectively teach others, one must have an understanding of themselves as a teacher. This learning experience provides educators with an opportunity to explore their own personality type and teaching style. Completion and self-validation of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® Assessment is included.

Personality Type & Learning
Our in-born preferences help determine ways in which we learn best. This learning experience provides an in-depth look at the connection between student personality type and preferred learning methods.

Advanced Level

Teaching and Type: Advanced Application
Designed for educators committed to integrating the concept of personality type into their class environment. This learning experience provides an opportunity to design lessons using the the lens of personality type. A second session, held after implementation of the lesson,offers the opportunity for review and peer feedback.
