EP123 Gretchen Rubin on how teachers can use the 4 tendencies to help students (and themselves) to meet goals & expectations

<p>I’m talking today with New York Times best-selling author <a href="https://gretchenrubin.com/">Gretchen Rubin</a>. I’ve learned so much from Gretchen's research on happiness from her book <a href="http://amzn.to/2De3u9y">The Happiness Project</a>, and I’ve studied her work on habits from the book <a href= "http://amzn.to/2F5iaxL">Better Than Before</a>. Gretchen’s latest book is called The <a href="http://amzn.to/2tv5OJV">4 Tendencies: The Indispensable Personality Profiles That Reveal How to Make Your Life Better (and Other People's Lives Better, Too)</a>.</p> <p>I invited her on the show because the four tendencies are not just another personality type: They’re about how people tend to respond to and meet expectations. When I first heard about the tendencies, I immediately saw the application to our work in the classroom, because it’s such a challenge to figure out how to get students to meet expectations. </p> <p>Listen in as Gretchen and I talk about understanding students’ tendencies — as well as our own — so we can be more productive and accomplish the things that really matter.</p> <p><a href= "https://thecornerstoneforteachers.com/truth-for-teachers-podcast/gretchen-rubin/"> Click here to listen to the audio, or read or share the condensed transcript and participate in the discussion.</a></p>
