It's great to have you all back for our 3rd session, "Knowing Self As Teacher". Please use the following links to participate:

• Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Assessment
• Cognitive Style Inventory: use this afterwards to confirm the results of the MBTI (scroll down after visiting)
• The 16 Types: click on the 4-letter abbreviations for detailed descriptions of each personality type. Or read this "type table" (scroll down).
• Are you an introvert? If so, find some relief here ("Caring for Your Introvert"), here ("Why Introverts Can Make The Best Leaders") and here ("Revenge of the Introvert")

Here are the links for our collaborative online discussion and creation:

• "What Makes a Great Teacher?" (original article from The Atlantic Monthly)

Next Time: "Our Students"

We will have a panel discussion of New Trier students. Consider the "7 Tacit Lessons" of the traditional classroom and how our students may or may not internalize these in the 21st Century.
