Passionate about what she does...
As a Principal DISC has supported me to employ staff that have the right behaviours for the role. When new staff members begin they often have to “hit the ground running”, and DISC gives me a way of quickly integrating them into the team, as I am more aware of their behavioural needs. I also now have a better understanding of why people communicate and react the way they do to certain situations. This understanding enables me as a manager to communicate and approach each member of my staff more effectively, which means we all benefit. Knowing what the needs are of each DISC style has supported me to better interact and communicate with parents and students alike. And the Mini Me Kids Survey gives teachers a way to quickly identify a child’s DISC style, when having to introduce a relief teacher to new children or when starting with a new Term 1 class of children. We are planning to use DISC assessments and Sandra’s coaching skills and knowledge, to help us with our personal development strategies. The overall process has been an extremely useful and enlightening experience for staff and myself. I am looking forward to gaining more understanding of my DISC leadership style, and of learning how to embed the methodology and understanding of DISC, into the school’s culture and its community.

Effective Instructional Designer...
Coming from a teacher's perspective and after observed Sandra's facilitation style, I think she is very reflective and open to changes. Even though we were short of time in some of the lessons, we still managed to focus on the things that were important and Sandra expertly facilitated using interventions when anything cropped up as a result of discussions. I particularly liked the way Sandra was aware of the needs of individual children and the way she was able to adapt certain activities to meet those needs - maximised the learning for those pupils and also avoided any embarrassment. Starting with the peacefulness exercise was very effective. Reflecting on previous sessions at the start and when time allowed doing a recap at the end was also very useful. I liked the mix of activities and the pupil interaction and involvement. Allison Hammett, Teacher Auckland NZ |
