Product reviews for Personality in the Classroom

Personality in the Classroom is another inspirational text from David Hodgson. As a Higher Education and Careers Adviser involved in providing individual guidance, I found Chapter 6 on one-to-one relationships particularly interesting and relevant to my own work with students in a sixth form college.

In this book Hodgson extends the work he started in his first book The Buzz, which I use on a daily basis when helping students to choose degree courses and careers. As a Clownfish preference I shall use David's tips when dealing with students of other preferences (we administer the questionnaire with the majority of our students). Knowing their own personality preference is often the first step in helping them make sense of their future path and motivating them towards their goals. 

This book encourages teachers to consider their own personality preference in order to understand their pupils. It is a -˜must read' for teachers of every age range and I feel that the subtitle describes it in a nutshell: -˜Motivating and inspiring every teacher and student'.
