Give tests that count
How many kids graduate from high school never having
taken a test about their strengths?

“And you realize that the beauty of our ﬂaws is to accentuate
our be7er features.

“We who lived in concentration camps can
remember the men who walked through the
huts comforting others, giving away their last
piece of bread. They may have been few in
number, but they offer sufficient proof that
everything can be taken from a man but one
thing: the last of the human freedoms— to
choose one’s attitude in any given set of
circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
Frankl, Viktor E. (2006-06-01). Man's Search for Meaning (p.
66). Beacon Press. Kindle Edition.

Bitter people don’t get better,
people!

DO YOU HAVE THE HEART?
To be a great teacher, we need heart.

“Santa’s Mo+o” in my
childhood home
“If you
believe
you
receive.”

Dr. Robert Rosenthal, Harvard University 1960’s

Three teachers were told,

“because of you teaching styles you are the three best
teachers in the school as a special reward we are going
to give each of you one classroom of the brightest
children in the school selected based on IQ tests – we
expect them to jump 20-30% in academic achievement.
Keep this conﬁdential, we don’t want anyone to know.”

At the end of the school year
•  Led the school and district in standardized test
scores
•  Jumped 20-30% in academic achievement
over previous year.

Guess what?
•  The selec.ons were RANDOM.
– Students were a mix of good/bad/ medium.
– So were teachers!
Rosenthal, R., and Jacobson, L. (1968). Pygmalion in the classroom: Teacher
expecta5on and pupils' intellectual development'. New York: Rinehart and
Winston.

You Believe, You Receive!
“In experiment a7er experiment, it has been
demonstrated that when teachers EXPECT their
students to perform well, the students work
hard and live up to their teacher’s
expectaEons.”
