The Suite of Tools provides opportunities for teachers, parents, counselors, and students to discover ways to learn optimally and collaborate using a strength-based, talent-focused approach.
What’s in the Suite of Tools? 1. C.L.U.E.S.™ (Schader & Baum, 2016), the primary organizer, is an acronym for Collect information, Look for connections, Uncover patterns, Explore different perspectives, and Synthesize findings. 2. Students complete a discovery questionnaire called My LearningPrint (Schader & Zhou, 2004, rev. 2014) in which they make note of their interests and activities (both academic and at home), perceived strengths, and preferences in subjects and learning conditions. It is a non-judgmental document that reveals a unique “learning fingerprint.” 3. The Quick Personality Indicator™ (QPI) (Baum & Nicols, 2008, rev. 2015) is a personality styles questionnaire that indicates how each individual tends to organize his/her world and relate to others. There are QPI forms for students and for adults. |
4. Creating Possibilities™ (Baum & Schader, 2015), the planning tool, has two distinct sections:
a. Plan for Success™ is a sketchpad for teachers and therapists design learning opportunities that leverage interests and strengths in building necessary academic and personal skills. b. The Talent Development Opportunity (TDO) Maker™ is a form that helps teachers, mentors, parents, and students brainstorm and organize opportunities purposely selected to build expertise in a student’s particular areas of interest, and talent (both within and outside of school). With the Suite of Tools, a high school principal notes his teachers no longer say, "What's wrong with that kid?” Instead, he now hears, "How can we support this child's challenges, and what are his strengths?” |
